The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

by Eckhart Tolle

If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

if your destination, or the steps you are going to take in the future, take up so much of your attention that they become more important to you than the step you are taking now, then you completely miss the journey’s inner purpose, which has nothing to do with where you are going or what you are doing, but everything to do with how.

The more attention you give to the past, the more you energize it, and the more likely you are to make a “self” out of it.
