The most decisive event in your life is when you discover you are not your thoughts or emotions. Instead, you can be present as the awareness behind the thoughts and emotions.

Eckhart TolleWhen you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.
Eckhart TolleThe planet will not survive another hundred years of the same state of consciousness that produced the external effects of recent history.
Eckhart TolleI've received more and more emails from teachers saying that they are beginning to teach presence in their classroom without necessarily calling it that or calling it anything, not as part of the official curriculum.

Eckhart TolleOnce you have made peace with the present moment, see what happens, what you can do or choose to do, or rather what life does through you. There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.
