Transcript – Don’t Let Your Ego Take Control Of Your Life – Fearless Soul – Inspirational Speech

What is the ego?

The ego is a self-generated identity consisting of every belief we believe about who and what we are.


This includes our personality, our talents and our likes/dislikes.

The ego is what keeps us locked away in our minds in an endless cycle of chatter, separated from the present moment.


It is the identity created and reinforced by the story we tell ourselves. Our stories are, however, just that. Stories. They do not make up who we are.

Eckhart Tolle says:

“The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these are you.”

While the ego is an aspect of the human condition, it is not the true essence of who we are.

When we operate from ego we are generally obsessed with right and wrong, blame and shame.

 We are not acting from a loving place, but a judgemental place. We are not acting from a place of “how can I serve” or “how can I give”… rather, “what do I get”, and “how do I look.”


Learning to identify the traits and behaviours of the ego, and then working to consciously make a different choice will drastically change your life.

Here are 3 Tips On Managing Your Ego To Create A More Peaceful, Loving Life!


Number 1. Stop Taking Things Personally

The ego loves to get offended. It loves to feel wounded and it THRIVES on pain and conflict.

When we choose to be offended over things we are actively choosing to allow the ego to take hold of our lives and create pain. In order to disassociate from this decision and make a different choice, we must recognise that love is our natural state. Humans actually want to connect and feel joy, not misery.

If someone does or says something that makes you feel any negative emotion, you have two choices. You can react and engage in conflict, or you can recognise that the trigger within you is an opportunity for your own growth.

You can choose to recognise that anything negative said or done from another, is likely a projection of their own ego.

Don’t waste your energy on ego battles. Save it for love and service.

Number 2. Forgive


The ego loves being right. It sustains itself in this way. The problem is it also keeps you from doing what you need to do to move closer to love and truth. 

The ego is sort of like a weed in this way. It may have pretty flowers for your inner garden, but if left unattended it will choke out all of your other plants and leave you in a big mess.

When you forgive, you allow your heart to open and you separate from the need to be “right” and instead choose love. This is functioning from your true self. Forgive others and forgive yourself too.

Number 3. Let Go And Observe


Let go of trying to be right, trying to win, trying to be seen, trying to be heard. Instead, observe.

The ego wants to prove itself and jump up and down to gain love and validation. Our higher self doesn’t need validation. Our higher self knows that it IS love.

By becoming aware of the ego, and its need to be seen heard and acknowledged, you open up space to be seen and heard without expectation.

By observing without expectation you then see things as they are. You see people as they are rather than through a projected sense of lack because they are not matching up to your ego’s demands.
In this space, there is also an opportunity to sit back and observe as to who or who is not functioning from a place where they can offer themselves up emotionally to GIVE love, acceptance, adoration to you. 

This means we let go of controlling people in an attempt to have our needs met. This is freedom.

Eckhart Tolle said:


“The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly no longer the ego but just an old, conditioned mind pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist.”

There is no denying that the ego serves its purpose. But when the ego becomes the dominant process of your mind, you fall out of alignment with your true self.

With practice, you can learn how to manage your ego better and create a life that feels more peaceful, loving and authentic.

As Gandhi said:

“When the ego dies, the soul awakens.”… 
Let your ego die, a little more each day, so your own soul can awaken and grow. 
So your freedom and joy can grow.
 So your peace can come forward.

Bless your life, by letting go of your ego.

Listen closely as Eckart Tolle explains this simple process for becoming present to calm your racing thoughts.

Transcript | Eckhart Tolle – How To Silence Voices In Your Head

When we told you Eckhart would be coming on Super Soul Sunday. We heard the collective digital cheer online, you told us you had questions for Eckhart and he happily agreed to take a few. Laura one of our Facebook followers, wanted to know, how to calm the voice in her head. She writes “I feel like my mind is racing an enormous speed and at night it’s even worse.”

“How can I stop the constant stream of consciousness in my mind.”

Good question, many people will be thankful for that question. So first of all the question implies that you know that your mind won’t stop. If you are totally immersed you’re so identified with your mind, even the thought that your mind won’t stop, doesn’t even occur to you because you become your mind.  You don’t know that it is your mind, that won’t stop. So Laura that’s a big, that’s.. you’re ahead of the game. The fact that Laura knows that her mind won’t stop is a good thing.

It’s a good start, so when you hear the thought “Why can’t I stop my mind.”

Don’t believe it, because you can stop your mind.

How?

You can choose to take your attention away from thinking, and the first thing you do as you lie there in bed, you ask yourself, can I feel the energy inside my hands? In other words, can I feel that my hands are there without touching anything, can I feel that there’s an energy inside my hands and after a little while most people can.

There’s a slight tingling or liveness that you can feel when the energy goes in there and that’s an enormous step that you’ve already taken, because immediately thinking will slow down. Because it no longer has your whole attention. Got it. Then see, can you incorporate the whole body. Can you sense your legs and arms? So why does that work and not just, Laura saying to herself, let me think about something else.

There’s no anchor then for presence and the mind has such momentum that you won’t be able to stop it.

You need an anchor for presence

And the inner body as I call it is a wonderful anchor for the state of presence. Laura I hope you got that too, that’s why you just can’t say, “Okay I’m gonna think about something else.”

Yes, and then.. You have to actively choose.  Not about something else, just go into the body and then thinking slows down, you might even stop completely for a while, and the amazing thing is what before was an unpleasant dreadful sleepless night, within a few minutes can actually be transformed into a very pleasant experience of feeling the inherent and aliveness in your whole body, and you lie there..

Because, and then you recognize “Oh I have slowed down.”

You have slowed down

The mind will do very little when you’re really in the body, there’s not much thinking anymore.

So another Facebooker wanted to know, this is closely related to what Laura said, “How does one clear one’s mind of bad memories?” Can you clear your mind of bad memories?

Well not as such, but you can recognize that bad memories are thoughts that are rising in your mind and when you recognize that these are thoughts arising in your mind.

You don’t need to identify with the thoughts any longer. So memories for example, of something bad that happened to you. Yes.

It’s not happening here and now

It’s already happened. Yes. It’s done. Yes, so memories are thoughts that arise. They are not realities.

Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it’s just another thought arising about the past then you can you find a space.. A spacious relationship with thought, so thought no longer has you in its grip.

I call it sometimes.. I hope if people really get that. Yes. That would be a gift for somebody whose tortured by the past. Yes, another aspect of that of course is guilt, which has to do with something one did to someone or something that they failed to do, but should have done. And so guilt arises.

But of course, who you were then..

No human being can act beyond their level of consciousness.

At that time, you acted like that..

The awareness was not there, to act differently. Now the awareness is there, and the awareness is who you truly are.

Well I think a lot of the reasons.. Anytime I’ve ever felt guilty it’s because I kind of knew better, I knew better and didn’t do it.

You know there’s nothing worse I think than being upset with yourself and you’re upset with yourself, not when you make a mistake for me. I’m upset with myself when I make a mistake that I could have prevented.

But you didn’t.. [Laughter] But you didn’t so live with it.

There’s lots of talk about creating a world where unity and cooperation replace disconnect and disharmony. It can seem overwhelming to do this when you look around at the ‘big picture’ problems our planet and her people face. Looking within, however, allows you to take back control of what you can do today to be part of the change you’d like to see in this world.

Giving of yourself is one way to begin this shift. The act of receiving, however, often gets less attention for its ability to unite. This may be because it is sometimes viewed as ‘selfish’ or ‘greedy’ to take. Yet when you receive in order to make yourself or a situation better, the act takes on a whole new meaning. Now you’re a part of an upward spark of higher consciousness living.

Learning the fine art of asking for help means ‘jump-starting’ the cooperative give and take cycle that creates more harmony in the world. Take a look at these 2 tips on asking for help, and allowing other people’s unique gifts to shine through and light up your life.

Be the Student | Asking For Help

Asking for help can be tough because you’re taking the chance that you’ll be rejected for your ‘lack’ of understanding. The key here is to approach this from a perspective of abundance. Instead of saying that you have no idea what you’re doing, instead try stating that you’re interested in learning more, and you heard that this person or group has a lot to teach on the subject.

By presenting yourself as a person seeking more knowledge, you shift the paradigm from ‘not enough’ to ‘plenty to go around’. You also uplift others by presenting them with an opportunity to use their passions and talents to help you. This kind of giving comes with a lot of benefits for both the giver and the receiver.

Express Gratitude | Asking For Help

A recent study found that those who feel grateful for an experience show more activity in parts of the brain that are associated with better learning and decision making – which can assist you with the very thing you need help with in the first place! Expressing your gratitude up front also lets the person you are seeking help from know that you respect their time and effort. Research shows that when people feel appreciated, they are more likely to feel empathy for you, and want an ongoing ‘give and take’ relationship.

Gratitude can come in many forms. For instance, the act of cooperation is a way of saying ‘thanks’ in many cultures around the world. So as you receive, you can also be giving – of your unique gifts. If someone helps you with a business goal, for example, you can spotlight their services on your online platforms. Or offer to provide them with assistance next time they are in need of your talents.

In this way, you not only raise yourself up, but also help uplift those who had a hand in shaping you into a better version of yourself. This creates a more unified world where giving – not disconnect – reigns supreme.

Eckhart Tolle is one of the most prominent spiritual teachers in the world today. Born in a small town in Germany in 1948, three years after the end of World War 2.

For most of his life, even Eckhart Tolle himself had no idea of his future ascension to the summit of spiritual guidance. He described his childhood as unhappy. Alienated by a hostile school environment, in a country still reeling from unprecedented devastation.

At age 13 Eckart Tolle moved to Spain, his father insisted he did not need to attend high school, instead Eckhart chose to study literature, astronomy and various languages at home. During this time Eckhart Tolle read several books by German mystic Bô Yin Râ, Eckhart commented that these books affected him “very deeply.”

At age 19, Eckhart Tolle moved to England and for three years taught German and Spanish at a London school. Troubled by “depression, anxiety and fear”, he began “searching for answers” in his life.

In his early twenties, he decided to pursue the answers he hungered for by studying philosophy, psychology, and literature. Eckhart Tolle enrolled into the University of London. After graduating he was offered a scholarship at Cambridge University.

The Night That Changed Everything

One night in 1977, at the age of 29, after having suffered from depression for most of his life. Tolle says he experienced an “inner transformation.” That night he awakened from his sleep. Suffering from unbearable dread and thoughts of suicide. Eckhart Tolle experienced a life-changing epiphany.

Recounting the experience to Oprah on Super Soul Sunday, he says,

I couldn’t live with myself any longer. And in this a question arose without an answer: who is the ‘I’ that cannot live with the self? What is the self? I didn’t know at the time that what really happened was the mind-made self, with its heaviness, its problems, that lives between the unsatisfying past and the fearful future, collapsed. It dissolved.

The next morning I woke up and everything was so peaceful. The peace was there because there was no self.

Just a sense of presence, just observing and watching.

Eckhart stopped studying for his doctorate. For around two years after this experience he spent much of his time sitting “in a state of deep bliss,” on park benches in Russell Square, Central London, “watching the world go by.” He stayed with friends, in a Buddhist monastery, or otherwise slept rough on Hampstead Heath.

His family thought him “irresponsible, even insane.” A 2012 interview article states that he saw the name Eckhart on one of a pile of books in a dream, and knew he had written the book. Soon after in real life he ran into a psychic friend who called him Eckhart out of nowhere, so he changed his name. Eckhart went on to author
The Power of Now and A New Earth. Collectively his books have sold over 20 million copies! How a man can go from contemplating suicide to helping millions of people across the globe is truly inspiring.

Eckhart Tolle Most Powerful Quotes and 5 Life Lessons to Liberate Yourself

“Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.” ― Eckhart Tolle

In his late twenties, Eckhart Tolle went through a soul-crushing life crisis which transformed his life forever. He was going through a deep depression and tried to commit suicide.

This dark period brought about powerful transformational life lessons and he’s now widely recognized as one of the greatest spiritual teachers. His book The Power of Now is a New York Bestseller and has been translated into 33 languages worldwide.

The key theme of Eckhart’s teachings is transcending the ego-based consciousness. When we identify with the limiting thoughts of our mind, we become limit our growth and become anxious.

1. Live in the Present Moment

When you aren’t being present you become a slave to time. Your mind is pulled into the past or the future.

Your thoughts are of the past what has been, what could have been, what happened. Or your thoughts are of the future what could happen, what might happen, the variables of different outcomes, are all pulling you from your only reality, the present.

The only moment that truly exists is the present, time is an illusion therefore a person not living in the present could be seen as delusional. We must focus on what is real, the present moment is all that we can experience, interact with with and influence. So we must actively focus living in the present moment.

According to Eckhart Tolle,

“the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.” – Eckhart Tolle Quotes

2. Realize Who You Truly Are

“What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.” – Eckhart Tolle Quotes

Your consciousness is greater than your thoughts, your thoughts are drops in an ocean, and your consciousness is the ocean itself.

Your ocean is a sum of all the thoughts which becomes your reality, learning to think clearly, presently and positively can revolutionize your existence.

Learn to silence the inner chatter and you’ll realize that a source of inner bliss and joy already exists inside you.

3. Embrace Change

“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.” – Eckhart Tolle Quotes

Change is important to grow and expand your experience of life. According to Tony Robbins, a world renowned life and business coach, it is in human nature to seek constant progress towards ultimate self-realization.

The best way to change and evolve is to create a vision for your life and move towards it even when you are afraid. If you have already strongly envisioned where you are going, you brain will subconciously move in that direction. The stronger your vision the quicker your progress.

4. Observe Keenly to Build Self-Awareness

“Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes attention away from your thinking and creates space.” – Eckhart Tolle Quotes

When we aren’t conscious and aware, we slip into mindless living which is toxic and hampers our spiritual growth. For example, when we live passively, with no conscious intentions, fall into addictions, live a distracted life – we are living mindlessly.

To observe is to become conscious and take charge of your life instead of letting life happen to you and just wishing that someday your dreams will come true. Once you learn to live consciously, you will have more control over your own existence.

5. You Become What You Think About

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is.” – Eckhart Tolle Quotes

If you are constantly thinking that you’re lazy, unhappy, or not worthy of happiness and fulfillment, you will become those thoughts. – if you’re constantly complaining, you’ll attract more negativity into your life. The goal is to take full responsibility for your life and shed all the excuses.

Realize the power of your mind. If you focus it on positive things, with positive thoughts and actions, you will create positive results. And if you focus on negativity, you’ll create more negativity.

When you are stuck, don’t ask “why me?”, ask “how can I get through this?” and “what is a step no matter how small, I can take to make progress?” A simple question like this will help you focus on the solution.

In the end, life is too short to spend it in negativity. A being with a negative mindset will never reach their true potential.

62 Top Quotes on Gratitude by World’s Greatest Spiritual Teachers

Eckhart Tolle: Quotes on Gratitude

1. Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

When you love what you already have, it fills you with enthusiasm and energy and as a result, you end up creating more abundance with that positive energy.

2. It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.

When you feel good for the little things – the taste of coffee in the morning, cool breeze flowing on your face, the watchman smiling through his sleepless eyes – you realize that this world is a miracle. And from that point onwards, your spiritual development begins.

3. When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it’s just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment.

There are lots of miracles everywhere you go. Fire, electricity, internet, books, poetry, films, art, music, architecture – these are little pieces of heaven, products of human creativity that you can take a bite from. You have got to be grateful to be alive.

4. Being rich/wealthy is being in touch with the fullness of life. When you are open to the present moment, what comes in, is a gratitude for “what is”. When you are aligned with the present moment, there is a peace that comes, so it is like you are experiencing life for the first time, when you become present. When you are in a state of gratitude for what is … that is really what being wealthy means.

When you can feel the flow of life and feel the fullness of the present moment, that’s when you are really wealthy. Many people are torn between the past and the future and that takes away the beauty of the present. Breathe, and become aware of this moment. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

Wayne Dyer: Quotes on Gratitude

5. Be in a state of gratitude for everything that shows up in your life. Be thankful for the storms as well as the smooth sailing. What is the lesson or gift in what you are experiencing right now? Find your joy not in what’s missing in your life but in how you can serve.

We think our problems have something against us, we call it bad luck, blame others. But all darkness, all problems are here to transform us and teach us the lessons we were meant to learn in this life. Thank the Universe for the storms and all the lessons that came along with them.

6. Deficiency motivation doesn’t work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

You can’t feel fulfilled by buying new clothes, buying expensive cars, and just filling your cup. The glass will always be half empty if you have this mindset. You need to appreciate your life and do things to express who you are and not to fix yourself. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

7. Upon awakening, let the words Thank You flow from your lips, for this will remind you to begin your day with gratitude and compassion.

If you start your day on a positive note, this feeling translates into your whole day. Gratitude will give you warmth in your heart and the courage to work hard on your intentions.

8. Expressing gratitude for the miracles in your world is one of the best ways to make each moment of your life a special one. 

How often do we thank others for just being in our lives? Do something new today, call your old friend or family member whom you love, and tell them you’re so grateful to have them. And see how beautiful it makes you feel.

9. The Universe provides abundantly when you’re in a state of gratefulness.

Some earn $50,000 a year, others earn $5 million a year. But everyone has the same kind of heart, the same kind of mind and the same amount of time in their days. Everyone has access to the creativity and abundance of the universe if you open up to it. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

10. The first step toward discarding a scarcity mentality involves giving thanks for everything that you have.

Thank the Universe for a roof over your head and people who love you to death. If you have these, you are already one of the luckiest people alive.

11. Gratitude is a sacred space where you allow and know that a force greater than your ego is always at work and always available.

We are not here to hoard money, attain status and gratify our egos. Our purpose is to use human creativity to help others and change the world for the better. Be grateful and get in touch with that higher force that wants you to succeed, to do good. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

12. All emanates from Source! …You’re not this body and its accomplishments. You are the observer. Notice it all; and be grateful for the abilities you’ve been given, the motivation to achieve, and the stuff you’ve accumulated. But give all the credit to the power of intention, which brought you into existence.

Your intentions drive your life, consciously or subconsciously. So be grateful for what you can do, your unique talents and then set powerful intentions to make use of those talents. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

13. The only thing that feeling bad accomplishes is to plummet you into anxiety, despair, depression, and stress. In such situations, ask yourself in that moment what THOUGHT you can have that will make you feel GOOD!

A thought is like a vehicle in the spiritual world. It can lead us to a pile of negativity or it can take us to a place full of positivity, optimism, expansiveness, creativity, and wisdom. Choose your thoughts well.

14. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

Where you are right now, become present with this person, the ‘present you’. Appreciate how far you have come on your journey and more good things will come your way.

15. It just depends on what you decide to have in your heart. That’s what I’ve learned. That’s where I am at this stage in my life is if we can fill ourselves with love and appreciation for, and be in a state of gratitude. Every event of your life you have an opportunity to be in a state of gratitude for it.

Our mind can fill us with fear. But if we open up our hearts with gratitude, we learn to enjoy life in the present and trust that the future will be fine. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

16. You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it.

Instead of having regrets, it’s always better to fully live each and every moment. When you have lived, nor merely existed, all your life, you don’t regret anything.

17. Heaven is a state of mind, not a location.

You can walk heaven on earth if your intentions are pure. Look at Jim Carrey, everywhere he goes he spreads a little laughter and believes that people are good. He even said in a David Letterman interview that “this (present moment, life) is the gift.” We wait for our lives to get better and it takes the joy away from the present. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

Oprah Winfrey: Quotes on Gratitude

18. Every morning when I open my curtains for that first look at the day, no matter what the day looks like—raining, foggy, overcast, sunny—my heart swells with gratitude. I get another chance.

Every day you get a fresh chance at life. Don’t underestimate it. So many people are struggling for their lives due to terrorism, abuse, and poverty. But you get to do something you like. Honor this gift.

19. I know for sure that only by owning who and what you are can you step into the fullness of life. I feel sorry for anyone who buys into the myth that you can be what you once were. The way to your best life isn’t denial. It’s owning every moment and staking a claim to the here and now. And I’m grateful for every age I’m blessed to become.

Who wants to go back and become their past version of themselves? You’ve got this far to learn your lessons and come to your truth. Accept it, own it, live it, and thank the Universe for this journey. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

20. I live in the space of thankfulness — and for that, I have been rewarded a million times over. I started out giving thanks for small things, and the more thankful I became, the more my bounty increased. That’s because — for sure — what you focus on expands. When you focus on the goodness in life, you create more of it.

If you focus on stress due to work, it will expand in your life – your boss will call you to meet deadlines, your colleagues will point out the dark circles under your eyes. Whatever you focus on expands, so why not use this wisdom to create a healthy, powerful life. Focus on the good.

21. Being grateful all the time isn’t easy. But it’s when you least feel thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you: perspective. Gratitude can transform any situation. It alters your vibration, moving you from negative energy to positive. It’s the quickest, easiest most powerful way to effect change in your life — this I know for sure.

Gratitude has the power to transform negativity. And isn’t this all we need? Everyone wants to move from a cold, unloving place in their lives to a loving, warm, positive place.

22. Some days the awareness of the sanctity and sacredness of life brings me to my knees with gratitude. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea that the little girl from Mississippi who grew up holding her nose in an outhouse now flies on her own plane — my own plane! — to Africa to help girls who grew up like her.

Think of what you had ten years back. And then think of now. You’ll be surprised at how life has rewarded you and also amazed at how you’ve been ignoring it the whole time.

23. I live in a state of exhilarated contentment (my definition of happiness), fueled by a passion for everything I’m committed to: my work, my colleagues, my home, my gratitude for every breath taken in freedom and peace. And what makes it sweeter is knowing for sure that I created this happiness. It was my choice.

You have to have an appreciation for life. It gives you the energy, passion, and enthusiasm to live, work, and shine! You are the creator. So create a happy life full of vibrancy and joy. Smile, laugh, love, and live! This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

24. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you, too, will keep encountering challenges. It is a blessing to be able to survive them, to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other — to be in a position to make the climb up life’s mountain, knowing that the summit still lies ahead. And every experience is a valuable teacher.

Challenges elevate our life to a higher life. At first, they might seem tough, but once we go through them, we come out stronger and better on the other side. You have to thank the Universe for giving you an opportunity to rise higher.

25. The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now. And the more grateful you are, the more you get.

Everyone wants more, more money, a better house, a better car, bigger vacations. You need to savor the here and the now. Because your entire life is captured in the present moment that will pass away without you knowing about it.

26. The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

We need to be thankful for the human experience. It is in our power to feel joy and bliss just by turning on some music and dancing with our friends. It’s not that hard to feel blissful, but we take it for granted. We can sing, laugh, dance, and marvel at the beauty of life – celebrate this gift.

27. For years I’ve advocated keeping a gratitude journal, writing down five things every day that brought pleasure and gratefulness. Appreciating what shows up in your life changes your personal vibration. Gratitude elevates your life to a higher frequency.

When you remember the things that you’re grateful for, your vibration raises and all negativity dissolves. From this place of positivity and abundance, life becomes a joy to live.

28. I don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t. I think it’s an ongoing process. And it’s not just about being able to write a check. It’s being able to touch somebody’s life.

You have the ability to touch someone’s life with your creative abilities. It might not be a huge thing for you, but for them, it may change their entire world.

29. What I know for sure is that what you give comes back to you.

Some people have a scarcity mentality. They don’t share their knowledge with others because they think others will use them to rise above than them. But the truth is that there is enough abundance in this world for everyone to win, to feel content. So don’t be afraid to give. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

30. What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.

As said earlier, you need to focus on the good in life. Thank the Universe for the people that love you, the home you are given, the ability to read and expand your mind, the ability to enjoy music. You’ll be surprised to know that many people don’t have these privileges.

31. Here’s the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat. What shows up in its place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.

When we feel we don’t have enough, it’s our ego firing back at us. In such way of thinking, our ego tells us that we need to have a certain social status or a certain type of house to feel happy. As Jim Carrey says, “how tricky is this ego that it promises us with something that we already have – our own light.” The light, the abundance, the joy, the creativity – is inside of you, don’t search it outside.

32. Whenever you can’t think of something to be grateful for, remember your breath. With each breath you take, you can say, ‘I’m still here.’ Make each day a holiday of thankfulness -and give yourself the gift of gratitude!

We take the human experience for granted – the ability to sing, read, talk, get entertained, run, feel joy and bliss. Be thankful that you’re alive, thank the universe for each breath, every day.

Dalai Lama: Quotes on Gratitude

33. I find hope in the darkest of days and focus on the brightest. I do not judge the Universe.

When the weather is bright, everyone can be happy and thankful. But when there are storms, that’s when you need to focus on the good. Realize that everything is temporary and focus on the good.

34. The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

If you appreciate relationships, you will invest in them and more joy will come from relationships in your life. And if you appreciate religion, you will invest in it, and more religious wisdom and bliss will flow into your life. The things you appreciate, flow in abundance your way.

35. We don’t need more money, we don’t need greater success or fame, we don’t need the perfect body or even the perfect mate. Right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness.

The mind is our only tool to experience this life. Yet few of us put in the effort to master it. That’s why many of us have to numb it with alcohol or other substances because it isn’t in our control. You need to use your mind well, adopt an attitude of gratitude so that you can feel abundance flowing your way. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

36. Every day, think as you wake up: Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive. I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

We can plant the seed for the coming day in the very morning. How you spend the first few minutes of your day largely determine the kind of experience you will have throughout your day. So in the morning, fill your heart with gratitude for every little thing that is given to you.

37. When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, ‘Oh yes – I already have everything that I really need.

There’s no end to wanting more. That’s the nature of the ego. Then how can you experience contentment? The answer is: by practice. You need to feel content every day by focusing on the good. And soon you’ll stop running for more and a natural rhythm will set in.

38. The creatures that inhabit this earth – be they human beings or animals – are here to contribute to the beauty and prosperity of the world. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, have not just dropped from the sky. This is why we should be grateful to all our fellow creatures.

The things that we take for granted – it took years or centuries for human beings to invent them or discover them. From inventing fire to building electricity and airplanes, the human experience gets enriched with each generation – don’t take this human experience for granted.

39. Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.

Time doesn’t wait for anybody. The task is to make use of that time well. Ask yourself, “How can I make it meaningful?” Among all quotes on gratitude, this one stands out.

40. When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect towards others.

When we thank the Universe, we find that a large part of our happiness comes from our relationships. Without our loved ones, we’ll feel lost. So gratitude builds a sense of respect towards them.

41. Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

When you think life has taken something from you, there is a big chance that you were meant to learn from it and change the course. For example, Steve Jobs was fired from his own company. But according to him, it gave him the opportunity to start from scratch and enter one of the most creative periods in his life. It was during this period that he started Pixar, the animation company.

42. For a person who cherishes compassion and love, the practice of tolerance is essential, and for that, an enemy is indispensable. So we should be grateful to our enemies, for it is they who can best help us develop a tranquil mind.

Our best teachers are our worst enemies. Why? Because if they make us uncomfortable and we can’t come to terms with them, there’s something the Universe wants us to learn from them. And until we learn, we will never come to terms with them.

43. Appreciate how rare and full of potential your situation is in this world, then take joy in it, and use it to your best advantage.

We have the opportunity to influence others, enjoy the life we have, and create things out of our imagination. Don’t take these abilities for granted.

Tony Robbins: Quotes on Gratitude XXXXX

44. When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears.

Fear tells us that we’re not good enough. But if we see all the good there is in our lives, the lies fear sells us are exposed. And the fear vanishes.

45. Without gratitude and appreciation for what you already have, you’ll never know true fulfillment.

What’s the point of wanting more if you’re not enjoying what you already have? Start appreciating everything you have and this life will turn into heaven.

46. I don’t believe in waiting for great feelings. I need to wire myself for positivity and gratitude. I need to build a highway to those.

You don’t need to wait for a huge change to happen to feel blissful. Understand that you’re the creator of your world. So focus on the good and bliss will come naturally.

47. The antidote to fear is gratitude. The antidote to anger is gratitude. You can’t feel fear or anger while feeling gratitude at the same time.

The root of anger is pain. When we are hurt, we lash out at others so that they don’t hurt us again. And the root of fear is ego – it tells us that we’re not good enough. When we feel gratitude, pain transforms into contentment, and the ego takes a backseat. That’s how fear and anger are defeated. Among all quotes on gratitude, this one stands out.

48. The third element of success is your state: You must replace a default state of pessimism or anger with one of determination, of will, of generosity, of curiosity, of gratitude. The more we can put ourselves in such beautiful states rather than suffering states, the more they become habits of being and we end up making better decisions.

Our emotional nature is an emotional habit. Just as some people have a habit of being lazy, similarly some of us have a habit of being sad and ungrateful. Change these habits, take charge, and see how life turns around.

49. If you’re gonna make a change, you’re gonna have to operate from a new belief that life says life happens not to me but for me.

You are the creator, so it’s in your power to choose a healthy belief for your own good. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

Deepak Chopra: Quotes on Gratitude

50. Gratitude opens the door to… the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.

When you feel gratitude, you fill your vessel. And when you feel full inside, that’s when you have access to the higher powers – the creativity and wisdom of this world. That’s when you can envision a great future and work towards making it a reality.

51. Gratitude is a divine attitude in the wisdom traditions. It takes you out of the ego self and takes you into the higher self. That higher state of consciousness initiates self-repair, self-regulation, and healing.

It is our ego that hurts us with messages that say “you’re not enough”, “keep running for more”, “money is everything”. In the state of gratitude, ego takes a backseat and we experience true healing. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

52. Gratitude is one of the most effective ways of getting in touch with your soul.

When you thank the universe, you raise your vibration and access the higher powers of self-actualization and self-awareness. From that place, it’s easy to realize who you are the core of your soul.

53. Gratitude is a state of being in which we feel connected to everything in the universe. It is a fullness of the heart that recognizes the blessings of nature within and without. Gratitude is love for the goodness of life itself.

We are all swimming in the same ocean, experiencing it from our different shores. Gratitude is a tool to make this experience full of joy and contentment.

54. My Intent today is to expand the flow of abundance through the energy of gratitude.

Use gratitude as a spiritual tool to invite the abundance of everything into your life. With gratitude, you’ll never have a lack of money or happiness. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

Maya Angelou: Quotes on Gratitude

55. The children to whom we read simple stories may or may not show gratitude, but each boon we give strengthens the pillars of the world.

The more you give, the more you restore others’ faith in humanity and the goodness in the world. So keep giving, keep nurturing others. Among all quotes on gratitude, this really stands out.

56. The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas. The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising. Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude. If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed.

Don’t hate your life due to external things. If you do, you give your power away to the external circumstances. Take your power back and feel good with what you have all the time.

57. Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.

These beautiful, poetic words by Maya Angelou show that gratitude and faith can help you overcome all adversity in life and invite all the goodness of the world.

58. Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence, neither speed up, nor slow down, add to, nor diminish it is an imponderably valuable gift.

Value your time and value those who share their time with you. It’s perhaps the most powerful resource you have. Wise people use it to create great things, create happiness for them as well for others. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

Paulo Coelho: Quotes on Gratitude

59. A miracle happened: another day of life.

Be grateful for each breath that flows through you because tomorrow is not promised. Use your time to brings your dreams to life and always ask yourself, “If this were my last day, will I be doing the same thing that I’m about to do?”

60. I must try and enjoy all the graces that God has given me today. Grace cannot be hoarded. There are no banks where it can be deposited to be used when I feel more at peace with myself. If I do not make full use of these blessings, I will lose them forever.

Abundance isn’t stored in banks. It’s a state of being. You have to cultivate abundance by practicing gratitude and doing the things that bring you joy.

61. When we can do nothing else, we can still love, without expecting any reward or change or gratitude.

It’s amazing that in our capitalistic society, how many people lose touch with the best human qualities: empathy, the ability to love, to nurture. No matter how high you rise, never stop being kind and never stop nurturing others. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

62. The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.

Whether you want to build a big business or attract the right relationship in your life, you have to be patient. Transformation and success don’t happen overnight. Moreover, whatever is your present situation in your life, you have to embrace it, learn from it, and use it as a tool to grow.

The post 62 Top Quotes On Gratitude By World’s Greatest Spiritual Teachers appeared first on Fearless Soul - Inspirational Music & Life Changing Thoughts.

Life tests each and every one of us.

It’s important to have a positive mindset to help navigate the ebbs and flows of life.

Eckhart Tolle has experienced the best and worst of life. At age 29, after suffering from crippling depression for most of his life. Eckhart awoke in the middle of the night and experienced a life-changing epiphany, what followed was an amazing spiritual journey.

Eckhart Tolle is now regarded as one of the most gifted spiritual teachers in the world.

Here are some quotes by Eckhart Tolle to enlighten and empower you.

25 Quotes by Eckhart Tolle on Life, Happiness, and Suffering

1. Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.

The mind works in mysterious ways. Our thoughts can make us afraid for the future or regretful of the past. But our real power lies in the present moment.

Living in the moment or ‘mindfulness’  is being consciously attentive on the present moment. When you become mindful, you realize that you are not your thoughts, you become an observer of your thoughts without judging them, thus allowing you to enjoy life as it’s happening.

Realizing the present moment is all you ever have will allow you to live life in much richer detail. Presence brings power.

2. Life is the dancer and you are the dance. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

How you think and act determines your reality. Most people don’t acknowledge that you can influence your own reality.  They believe life is down to luck. That their current situation is their final destination. When really your attitude determines your altitude. A positive outlook will deliver a positive life.

3. Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath.

Some people confuse aggression and anger with dominance and control. But the truth is that anger is a sign of weakness. It says that you were hurt in the past and you are carrying it into the present. This is one of the most enlightening Eckhart Tolle quotes ever. If you carry anger you must look inside yourself for the answer.

4. Give up defining yourself — to yourself 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. 

Don’t worry about what people think of you or how they label you. Live your own life, discover your own hopes, wishes, talents, desires, and dreams. Fall in love with who you are without having the need to define yourself by a single sentence or achievement. The human spirit is too intense to be captured in a few sentences.

5. Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

Spirituality doesn’t mean you have to worship a Godly figure. It’s all about achieving a higher state of consciousness or understanding, where you intuitively know the deeper meaning in ordinary things and can read between the lines.

6. Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.

We often blame the external world for our dissatisfaction with life. But the truth is that we never see what we are withholding from the world. Every painful life experience carries a lesson and induces suffering. We must accept that difficult lessons in life will not leave us until they have taught us what we need to know.

7. Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

The faults we find in others are actually the parts of own self, that we recognize and cannot come to terms with. We need to be more accepting of others to better accept ourselves. Instead of looking and judging others we must look inside of ourselves for the answers we seek.

8. Being must be felt. It can’t be thought.

We need to turn off our minds and turn on our hearts. Ask yourself, “How did I feel all day today?” Honor your feelings and understand your heart’s longings. Among all Eckhart Tolle quotes, this one really stands out. Taking time to meditate and be present will help expand our conciousness.

9. To love is to recognize yourself in another. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

We are all one, swimming in the same ocean of existence, experiencing life from different shores. When you cross paths with someone, take the time to know them on a deeper level because you have met them for a reason.

10. The past has no power over the present moment.

If there are certain things you regret about the past, know that the only power it has is the power you give to it. You are not what happened to you, you witnessed the past but cannot change it and no amount of stress or anxiety will change the past. Therefore, it’s in your power to change your focus and witness a better reality for yourself in the present moment. Be the change you want to see in the world.

11. Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

Some people are too serious. They make long lists of what to do, how to live and overthink things all the time. Don’t take life too seriously. No matter how deep you are, find joy in the little things. Know that you’re not alone and if you have a single person who cares for you, you are truly blessed.

12. What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.

You are not your thoughts. The thoughts that run through your head are just temporary reflections of your mind. Don’t identify with them. But then who are you? You are the witness that hears the thoughts, observe your thoughts but do not live by them.

13. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

People are so afraid of losing things and losing people. But the agent of creation lies within you. No matter what you lose, you won’t lose your creativity which can create all the things you want all over again. You won’t lose your ability to enjoy the human experience, so enjoy it.

14. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

Every person on Earth will experience some difficulty that they cannot change. This fact can either imprison you or enlighten you. When you encounter difficulty, accept it as if you had chosen it, experience it and figure out what you can learn from it.

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

If you have been keen to change something in your life for a long time, try to understand the hidden lesson it carries. What’s life asking you to do? If you are tired of being stressed all the time, life is pressing you to think differently. If you haven’t found love and intimacy yet, life is telling you that you need to learn how to love yourself first..

16. Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

Beautiful creation often starts with dark destruction. When you feel you are buried in a hole, you are actually planted like a seed, ready for a magnificent future. Darkness defines the light. Without suffering, we wouldn’t appreciate the happier times.

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

No matter what you have been through, a situation is defined by the meaning you give to it. Some people can survive death without much hassle and others get frustrated at simple things, it’s all about perspective and your thoughts about a situation.

18. Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the now, the most precious thing there is.

Time is a man-made concept. There is no time, there is a long, eternal “now” that we live all our life. You can only influence the present moment. Reclaim your power by living fully in the present moment.

19. Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it’s no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.

It’s better to move forward in any direction than to stare at your problems and suffer from anxiety and fear. Albert Einstein said that you have to keep moving in life to maintain your balance. If you’re unhappy take action now and start living life by your terms.

20. 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 non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

This is one of the greatest Eckhart Tolle quotes as it explains all suffering with a simple concept. When our mind is fixed in the future, we suffer from fear, anxiety, and worry. When it is fixed in the past, we suffer from regret, sadness, hatred, and depression. We need to live in the present moment and say “yes” to what the now has to offer.

21. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.

There is nothing out there taking the joy out of your life. Everything is inside you. It is your thoughts, beliefs, actions, and the use or misuse of your own imagination is creating your life. If you want to change your life, change your mindset.

22. It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

Some of us live our lives in quiet desperation, hoping for a better tomorrow never realizing that our true power lies in the now. We are the creators of our own lives, we can live life our own way and chase our dreams. Don’t think just act.

23. The past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whatever form. Both are illusions.

We define ourselves by what we have done in the past not realizing that we are limiting ourselves by doing so. Realize that something completely new can happen for you and change that definition. Moreover, we should stop seeking happiness in the future. It’s not something that will arrive in the mail. Happiness is a by-product of how you act in the present. It is not the end goal. Life joyously in the present moment.

24. Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. | Quotes by Eckhart Tolle

See the good in every situation and experience. We are so blessed to experience this life. Gratitude is your superpower. Practicing and developing gratitude will not only make you happier in the present moment but it will drive you to change the world.

25. Instead of asking “what do I want from life?,” a more powerful question is, “what does life want from me?”

Sometimes our truth is right in front of us, but we fail to see it. Think for a moment. Talk to the part of you that feels dissatisfied with your life. What does that part of you want from life? What are its complaints? Now change your perspective for a moment and turn the tables.

Ask yourself, “What does life want from me? What is the obvious lesson here?” Chances are you need to overcome a limiting belief or learn a certain skill to get to the place you want to be. Whatever it is you must learn the lesson to move forward.

Perfect words by Oprah Winfrey, Eckhart Tolle, Lynne Twist & Tony Robbins via the best show on television: Super Soul Sunday.

Gratitude Motivational Video with Eckhart Tolle, Oprah & Tony Robbins

What are the questions one needs to ask oneself?

Well, I think one needs to look at what bounty and blessings have I received from the universe that I want to acknowledge and celebrate?

What do I want to celebrate about today?

What happened today that I can celebrate, that I can be grateful for?

And rather than waking up in the morning “I didn’t get no sleep” and going to bed at night with “I didn’t get enough done” which is bookending your day with scarcity…

Yes, I think this is interesting for us to think about how many times a day that tape plays of “not enough”, not just money…

How many times the “not enough” shows up.

But what if we woke up in the morning and are so grateful for this sweet territory of silence and sleep?

And you can wake up that way.

You can actually tell yourself to do that

Our mind is very obedient, even if it’s just four hours.

And be grateful for that.

And then at the end of the day rather than looking at what didn’t get done that’s going to dribble over on to tomorrow where we mostly end up each day, to “look at what I accomplished today”

“what I celebrate today”…

Today.. everyday is such a blessing.

You see the abundance of water, rain falling from the sky.

There’s an abundance of water, there’s an abundance of aliveness, there’s an abundance of joy in the dog that’s going past you there

And so to recognize, to see the abundance that surrounds you even if you’re very poor in the eyes of the world, the abundance is always there around you.

But you need to recognize it, acknowledge it, and another word for it is gratitude.

I know, I was going to say, that’s why I’ve kept a gratitude journal for years.

Three and a half minutes of pure gratitude about 3 things.

And I pick one of those 3 to be simple.

Because I don’t want to be the astronaut that went to the moon and that was his idea of adventure and then they all come back depressed because “what I do I do for the rest of my life?”

So the wind on my face, my children’s faces anything…

And the reason for gratitude is..

The 2 emotions that mess us up the most are fear and anger.

And you can’t be grateful and fearful simultaneously. They don’t go together.

And you can’ be angry and grateful simultaneously.

Gratefulness is the experience of the great fullness of life.

And when you’re in the great fullness of life,

the bowl of life is so full, it’s almost overflowing but not quite.

Not yet dripping over the edges.

And you’re one with God, one with the universe and there is no other

when you stand in and live in the great fullness of life.

And that great fullness is so powerful, that it overflows into the fountain of life and that puts you in this other branch of gratitude he calls thanksgiving.

And when you’re in the branch of gratitude called thanksgiving the bowl of life is overflowing.

And you’re so grateful that there’s an other because all you want to do is give and share, and serve and contribute and that’s so fulfilling, it puts you back in the great fullness of life.

So you can live in that cycle. You can actually live in that cycle no matter what your financial circumstance is.

You also say that “acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation of all abundance”.

Yes.

And again, many people make that mistake

because they believe that “there is nothing good in my life.”

And that’s absurd.

It means they’re not present.

They’re trapped in certain stories in their head

which tell them continuously that “there is nothing good in my life”.

And if they only open their eyes and looked around…

Now abundance, you need to recognize that as coming from within you.

Abundance is not something that external things come to you that make you abundant.

Abundance is the energy that flows out of you, out of the being of who you are, into this world.

Isn’t gratitude in itself an energy field that draws more to you?

Isn’t it its own vibrational frequency that draws more to you?

Yes. That’s what I interpreted you say, that gratitude is it’s own energy field.

And that when you acknowledge and are grateful for whatever you have, when you can see and feel the gratitude, experience the gratitude and whatever you have, that changes your vibrational frequency literally and allows more to be drawn to you.

Yes. It changes your entire reality. It changes the way in which you experience life.

It changes your world. Here, in this moment, what is it in this moment that I can be grateful for?
