Eckhart Tolle's teachings have helped me to WAKE UP (over and over again ;-)... to genuinely commit to developing my ability to be in the present moment. And practicing being present has helped me to make more intentional, conscious choices (like sticking to my new exercise and nutrition routine) instead of going through my day-to-day making excuses and living by default -- essentially reacting to one thought after another.
We all think, right -- thoughts about past and future come and go naturally -- but the choice is to not over-identify with my thoughts, to recognize that who I really am, my essence, is untouched by those thoughts. My essence is peace, love, connection...and therein lies my joy. And I can drop down into that knowing any time. NICE!
