As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.
Eckhart TolleEmotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness
Eckhart TolleThe 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 TolleYou all know the saying which is very true: What you resist persists. And I'm sure many of you have already found that out in your life. And then suddenly when you let go of resistance you let go of an attachment to something: I need this to happen in order to be happy; I don't want what is, I want something else. To be okay with what is, which is the simplicity of this moment, is the beginning of true change.
