The Power of Now — Quotes

Many years ago, I read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I loved the book and was fascinated by the power of focusing on the present moment. Unfortunately, focusing on the present moment is something that I am yet to master. Today, I searched for some of the powerful quotes from the book to remind myself of the main concepts about the power of focusing on the present moment. Below are some of them:

1. "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life."
2. "You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don't have a life. You are life."
3. "The past has no power over the present moment."
4. "Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now."
5. "You cannot find yourself in the past or future. The only place where you can find yourself is in the Now."
6. "All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence."
7. "Life is the dancer and you are the dance."
8. "When you make the present moment the focal point of your life, your ability to enjoy life increases exponentially."
9. "The more you are focused on time - past and future - the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is."
10. "The moment that judgement stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace."
