In the introduction to The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle briefly told his personal story. Every time I read it I cried and felt a deep personal connection to his pain. After reading his introduction for the 15th plus time on 3-5-15 at 10 am I decided to try with my entire being to live in the present moment. My fear of letting go of my ego was immense. In the coming days I failed hundreds of times, but I persevered. After a month there grew a small space between a fearful thought and the thought itself. After 2 months that space grew larger. After 3 months I could feel the fearful thought coming and choose to stay present instead. After 6 months my sister told me I was a completely different person and asked me what I did to change. I am now 69 years young living a life of constant amazement in Indonesia. With all my heart I am grateful to Eckhart Tolle for his inspiration.
