"Is there a difference between happiness and..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle

“Empathy with someone else's pain or lack and a desire to help need to be balanced with a deeper realization of the eternal nature of all life and the illusion of all pain. Then let your peace flow into whatever you do, and you will be working on the levels of effect and cause simultaneously.”

“Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now, and if the past cant prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?”

“Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.”

“On with dance, let joy be unconfined, is my motto; whether there's any dance to dance or any joy to unconfined.”

“The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.”

“You have never by a word or a deed given me one moment's uneasiness; on the contrary I have felt perpetual gratitude to heaven forhaving given me, in you, a source of so much pure and unmixed happiness.”

“You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care, nor your nights without a want and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.”

“Pull the thorn of existence out of the heart! Fast! For when you do, you will see thousands of rose gardens in yourself.”

“The mind is key. If anything should be considered a god, so to speak, it is the mind, not money. A healthy positive mind is the utmost priority. But if we were to reverse the order of these priorities, what would happen? I find it hard to imagine how a person with great wealth, bad health, no friends, and no peace of mind could feel even slightly happy.”
