Whatever you do in your daily life - driving from here to there, trying to reach someone on the phone, doing this or that - you always are going toward somewhere. That's inevitable.
Eckhart TolleMost people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking.
Eckhart TolleWhen you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.
Eckhart TolleSo it is essential to bring more consciousness into your life in ordinary situations when everything is going relatively smoothly. In this way, you grow in presence power. It generates an energy field in you and around you of a high vibrational frequency. No unconsciousness , no negativity, no discord or violence can enter that field and survive, just as darkness cannot survive in the presence of light.
