    Friedrich Nietzsche
    “The most intelligent men, like the strongest, find their happiness where others would find only disaster: in the labyrinth, in being hard with themselves and with others, in effort; their delight is in self-mastery; in them asceticism becomes second nature, a necessity, an instinct. They regard a difficult task as a privilege; it is to them a recreation to play with burdens that would crush all others.”
    Nietzsche

    Eckhart Tolle
    “Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”
    Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

    Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

  • #12
    Eckhart Tolle
    “All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and
    not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms
    of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.”
    Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

  • #13
    Eckhart Tolle
    “Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.”
    Eckhart Tolle

  • #14
    Eckhart Tolle

    “You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness.”

  • #23
    Eckhart Tolle
    “See if you can catch yourself complaining, in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. 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, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

  • #24
    Eckhart Tolle
    “Don't let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment.”
    Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

  • #25

    Eckhart Tolle

  • #26
    Eckhart Tolle
    “If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.”
    Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

  • #27
    Eckhart Tolle
    “If not now, when?”
    Eckhart Tolle

  • #28
    Eckhart Tolle
    “The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.”
    Eckhart Tolle

  • #29
    Eckhart Tolle
    “Whenever you become anxious or stressed, outer purpose has taken over, and you lost sight of your inner purpose. You have forgotten that your state of consciousness is primary, all else secondary.”

  • #30
    Eckhart Tolle
    “Humanity is now faced with a stark choice: Evolve or die. … If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.”
