Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing. Eckhart Tolle actioncaselearn share on social

The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it's beyond that.

The real truths of life are never entirely new to you or to anybody because there is a level deep down within you where you already know all the things, all those spiritual truths that you read or hear, and then recognize them. I say 'recognize' because you're not... it's not new. Eckhart Tolle deephearlevel share on social
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. Eckhart Tolle accuratelydestructiveinstrument Change image and share on social
