Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.
Eckhart TollePleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
Eckhart TolleIs there a difference between happiness and inner peace? Yes. Happiness depends on conditions being perceived as positive; inner peace does not.
Eckhart TolleGuilt, regret, resentment, sadness & all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past & not enough presence.
Eckhart TolleWhen you are in touch with that dimension within yourself-and being in touch with it is your natural state, all your actions and relationships will reflect the oneness with all life that you sense deep within. This is love. Laws, commandments, rules and regulations are necessary for those who are cut off from who they are, the Truth within.
Eckhart Tolle
