The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment. You create a good future by creating a good present. ---Eckhart Tolle
Two years ago I wrote an article (click HERE) about the book The Power of Now by philosopher Eckhart Tolle. Today is his birthday, so I thought it would be appropriate to feature one of his quotes. I was attracted to Tolle's beliefs because I...independently...had come to believe that the essence of subjective reality is embedded in the here and now: basically it's the definition of what "I" am. Furthermore, nothing can be accomplished unless it is actualized in the present moment. Yet so many of us, myself included at times, live in past regret or future worry. Neither of these are fruitful, although if approached as learning or motivational tools, examination of one's past and future can lead to better insights as to how best tackle what is really going on...in the now. Sometimes the hallmark of a great thinker is their ability to distill into lucid language truths that, upon revelation, seem self-evident...Eckhart Tolle is one of these sages...
