A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle 

This was my second book by great and incredible author Ekhart Tolle. Again I am amazed by depth of his understanding and meaningful ways of explaining the ideas. It took me four days to finished this book and during those days I was mysteriously happy. I was remembering all good things about my life and myself. It was very odd because I rarely do that. I mean most of the time I criticize myself for the wrong decisions I have made through out my life like everyone else but those four days and few days after that were totally different. I had a very high spirit; feeling motivated all the time.   

    I have to admit Eckhart Tolle has it's own miraculously way of writing a book. The guy knows something. He practically knows about every religion and teaching who haver ever mentioned anything about human spirituality. It did not have much new ideas but the ones which it had were pretty awesome. 

    In all the self help book I have I found a single idea very common among them. Which is remembering all the good things and being grateful by what  you have. But sometimes it gets really hard to be grateful, to see silver lining among all these clouds in our lives. Most of the time I just think about everything which went wrong along the way; all the mistakes , all bad judgements all the wrong doings. It takes a great amount of strength to stop obsessively thinking about miseries of our lives and instead focus on beautiful things about our lives. I am sure everyone has something in their lives to be grateful about, to be excited but it's human nature to seek what's not there instead to enjoying what's already there. I think I write a lot in this book. I LOVED it. 

Some deep and meaningful quotes from this incredible book

# "The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it."

# "Acknowledging the good that you already have in our life is the foundation for all abundance."

# "Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is they experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment."

# "Give up defining yourself-to  yourself self or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are."

# "Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on."

# "You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are."

# "You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness."   

# "Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living."

# "Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?"

# "When  you don't cover up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous return to your life that was lost a long time ago when humanity, instead of using thought, became possessed by thought."

# "Whenever you become anxious or stressed, outer purpose has taken over, and you lost sight of your inner purpose. You have forgotten that your state of consciousness is primary, all else secondary."

# "To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence."

# "You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle."

# "It is when we are trapped in incessant streams of compulsive thinking that the universe really disintegrates for us, and we lose the ability to sense the inter contentedness of all that exists."

# "You become most powerful in whatever you do if the action is performed for its own sake rather than as a means to protect, enhance, or conform to your role identity."
