Eckhart Tolle

"Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is the evolution of human consciousness."

"All stress comes from thoughts about the future or the past."

"The most powerful thing you can do is to be fully present with another person."

"When you speak, make sure what you say is both true and kind."

"The highest state of human development occurs when you have both strength and wisdom."

"Life is a dance, not a war."

"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it."

"Surrender to what is, let go of what was, have faith in what will be."

"You do not need to know the future. You just need to know your purpose."

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."

"Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love. Only you can give these things to yourself."

"Being spiritual means acknowledging the value of matter while recognizing the spiritual essence within it."

"Whatever you resist, persists. Whatever you look at directly dissolves."

"The greatest achievement is the dissolution of the ego."

"Anxiety is created by a gap between the present moment and an imagined future."

"Most people are so trapped in their heads they forget to inhabit their bodies."

"Waiting is a state of resistance. It means you don't accept what is."

"The past has no power over the present moment."

"Whatever you fight, you strengthen. Whatever you resist, you become."

"When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change it, or accept it without complaint."

"Your purpose is not something you discover later; it is something you create through living."

"Nothing new can come into your life unless you are grateful for what you already have."

"The moment you accept and allow things to be as they are, you free yourself from the burden of resistance."

"Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret is not to identify with that which can die."

"Enjoy the beauty of the ordinary. The extraordinary is just the ordinary seen from a different perspective."

"You are not your thoughts. You are the observer of your thoughts."

"Problems only exist in the mind. The present moment contains no problems."

"When you no longer want success, it comes."

"The world is not against you; it is indifferent."

"Forgive, which does not mean you condone wrongdoing. It means you free yourself from the burden of anger."
