Hello! On Wednesdays I'm going to pay homage to some of my favorite V.I.P.s (Very Inspirational People).
Today's V.I.P. is one of my favorite authors...Eckhart Tolle.
Eckhart Tolle
He has written several wonderful books about the importance of "staying present." I'd like to share one of my favorite passages from his book, "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose."
"How to be at peace now? By making peace with the present moment. The present moment is the field on which the game of life happens. It cannon happen anywhere else. Once you have made peace with the present moment, see what happens, what you can do or choose to do, or rather what life does through you. There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance." (Page 115).
I highly recommend these two books....

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from Eckhart....
“The past has no power over the present moment.”
“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”
“To love is to recognize yourself in another.”
“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.”
“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.”
