The habit patterns of the human mind are very strong and make it seem that the hard way is easy and the easy way is hard.
Eckhart TolleSome people say, the world can be so alive! It always is, you just do not know it because of the screen of your thinking. You notice it as you become more awake.
Eckhart TolleMany people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.
Eckhart Tolle
