Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it.
Eckhart TolleWhen you say, 'I enjoy doing this or that', it is really a misperception. It makes it appear that the joy comes from what you do, but that is not the case. Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.
Eckhart TolleThe equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of external silence is inner stillness.
Eckhart TolleHow’ is always more important that ‘what.’ See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.
