The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present. -Eckhart Tolle Good
Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness. -Eckhart Tolle Peace
To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness. -Eckhart Tolle Power
I don't believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn't say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It's an ongoing process. -Eckhart Tolle Intelligence
To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness. -Eckhart Tolle Change
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make. -Eckhart Tolle Future
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present. -Eckhart Tolle Future
Don't wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success. -Eckhart Tolle Future
Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you. -Eckhart Tolle Fear
People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on. -Eckhart Tolle Future
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life. -Eckhart Tolle Life
You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality. -Eckhart Tolle Religion
Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you. -Eckhart Tolle Life
Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, 'Be still, and know that I am God.' But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don't need to carry it around with you after you've crossed the river. -Eckhart Tolle Religion
If small things have the power to disturb you, then who you think you are is exactly that: small. -Eckhart Tolle Power
Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego's fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life. -Eckhart Tolle Failure
To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment. -Eckhart Tolle Freedom
In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love. -Eckhart Tolle Life
