Eckhart Tolle"Try to catch the voice in your head, in the very moment it complains about something. Recognise it for what it is: the voice of the ego, no more than a thought."
Eckhart Tolle is a German “spiritual researcher” and self-help author. His books include The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (1997), A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (2005) and the picture book Guardians of Being (2009).
"Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within."
"Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now; and if the past cannot prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?"
"All the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind."
"You cannot find yourself in the past or future. The only place where you can find yourself is in the Now."
"When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself."
"Instead of asking "what do I want from life?", a more powerful question is, "what does life want from me?"
