Eckhart Tolle Self Improvement Quotes

There is a power. It is a power held within yourself. It is accessible by a timeless process Eckhart Tolle describes in his book The Power of Now. Spiritual enlightenment develops through the acceptance and understanding of reality in the current moment. True reality is unfettered by controls of the past, fantasies about the future, or distortions and dictums from blind beliefs. Personal commitment brings power to personal evolution. Authentic spirituality is developing physical life into metaphysical existence. Please enjoy these self improvement quotes by Eckhart Tolle.

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

"Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge."
Eckhart Tolle

"Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment."
Eckhart Tolle

"You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are."
Eckhart Tolle

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

"Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on."
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

"All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness."
Eckhart Tolle

"When you don't cover up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous returns to your life that was lost a long time ago when humanity, instead of using thought, became possessed by thought."
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."
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."
Eckhart Tolle

"The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is."
Eckhart Tolle

"A genuine relationship is one that is not dominated by the ego with its image-making and self-seeking. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention toward the other person in which there is no wanting whatsoever."
Eckhart Tolle

"Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. … The ultimate purpose of human existence, which is to say, your purpose, is to bring that power into this world."
Eckhart Tolle

"Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is."
Eckhart Tolle

"...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions."
Eckhart Tolle

"Don't Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness"
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

"Love is not selective, just as the light of the sun is not selective. It does not make one person special. It is not exclusive. Exclusivity is not the love of God but the "love" of ego. However, the intensity with which true love is felt can vary. There may be one person who reflects your love back to you more clearly and more intensely than others, and if that person feels the same toward you, it can be said that you are in a love relationship with him or her. The bond that connects you with that person is the same bond that connects you with the person sitting next to you on a bus, or with a bird, a tree, a flower. Only the degree of intensity with which it is felt differs."
Eckhart Tolle

"You may remember the paradox of time we mentioned earlier:
Whatever you do takes time, and yet it is always now. So while your inner purpose is to negate time, your outer purpose necessarily involves future and so could not exist without time. But it is always secondary. 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."
Eckhart Tolle

"Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance."
Eckhart Tolle

"It is precisely through the onset of old age, through loss or personal tragedy, that the spiritual dimension would traditionally come into people's lives. This is to say, their inner purpose would emerge only as their outer purpose collapsed and the shell of the ego would begin to crack open. The emphasis shifts from doing to Being, and our civilization, which is lost in doing, knows nothing of Being. It asks: being? What do you do with it?"
Eckhart Tolle

"When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?"
Eckhart Tolle
