For many years I was a prisoner of severe anxiety and panic. I could only dream of going outside, or living a normal life. I now have traveled alone, to the other side of the world, and lived in solitude in the Myan community in Yucatan, for 2 years. The first book I used as a tool was Eckhart Tolle"s The Power Of Now. The first flight I made was to the middle east, and I clutched Eckhart"s book in my hand all the way. I think he is a wonderful minded person who has helped many. I have give that book to others who suffered as I did. Thank you Eckhart Tolle!

"I don't want to derive my identity from my success IT'S A CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR WHO I REALY AM!!!!" Woooooooow!!!!!!

"The problem cannot survive in the present moment, you deal with it when the moment comes more effectively, when you don't waste your life energy in the mental realm of creating problems that cannot be dealt with in this present moment." Love this and this is life changing for someone who was a chronic worrier. Worrying is really a big waste of "life energy". Thank you!
-
"The step that you are taking at this moment, is the most important"
-
"Compassion for yourself is as important as compassion for others."
-
When I read Eckharts book and learned that I could live in the present moment, I felt I had touched Jesus's robe. I immediately let go and began living in the present moment. I never looked back.

Love this "when you're trapped in the ego, it always leads to conflict, eventually"

someone posted in a Youtube comment "Eckhart Tolle" changed my life and I kind of thought that was funny, that is when I was just starting to listen to him but he really has also changed my life. It's funny because I have a huge collection of self help books and his is really all I need because he get's too the root of the problems where now I have realized all others are just about fixing the surface problems.

"Nonresistance, Nonjudgment, and Nonattachment" ❤️

I love him. His book literally saved me. I had anxiety and depression and came across his book. And my world view shifted. I experienced the deep inner peace and stillness at the present moment without any necessary activities for happiness. Just being still and sitting is so satisfying. The book came to me at the right time. I don't know what would happen to me if I didn't discover it. I got a bit of enlightenment and now more spiritual. You really need an open mind and an open heart when you read his book or you won't get what he's saying at all. You will think he's all mumbo-jumbo. I am really interested in the idea of being a spiritual business leader. Being successful in the external world and still having the inner peace inside. Being present yet, doing all the things a CEO is doing. Like peter sage. :D
