"If you find here & now intolerable,..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle
If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

“I enjoy going to Starbucks, having a cup of coffee, sitting in my car, driving from here to there, sitting at home looking at the trees, going for a walk with a dog. It's all very enjoyable.”
“You might say, 'What a dreadful day', without realizing that the cold, the wind, and the rain or whatever condition you react to are not dreadful. They are as they are. What is dreadful is your reaction, your inner resistance to it, and the emotion that is created by that resistance.”
“"I am the awareness that is aware that there is attachment." That's the beginning of the transformation of consciousness.”

“To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.”
“Give your fullest attention to whatever the moment presents.”
“For unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax. There is no point whatever in making plans for a future which you will never be able to enjoy. When your plans mature, you will still be living for some other future beyond. You will never, never be able to sit back with full contentment and say, "Now, I've arrived!" Your entire education has deprived you of this capacity because it was preparing you for the future, instead of showing you how to be alive now.”

“We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.”
“The wake doesn't drive the ship”
“Oh, one world at a time!”
