Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.
Eckhart TolleLife will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
Eckhart TolleStrictly speaking, "you" cannot become enlightened, because who you take yourself to be is like a ripple in the ocean of consciousness - or a little wave if you're a VIP - and the ripple doesn't become enlightened until it realizes that its ripple-identity is ultimately a misperception, that it is the ocean taking on a fleeting ripple-form.
