Your Suffering Comes From the Story, Not Your Life | Eckhart Tolle

Millions of people in this world live with this heaviness and they don't realize this heaviness that they call my life is actually a narrative that they tell themselves. That mind-made sense of self is ultimately fiction. Can you see how insane that is? You've been one of my great inspirations here on the planet. Guided millions and millions of people to an understanding of who they really are.

Eckharty. If your relationship with the present world is dysfunctional. Your entire life is dysfunctional. Make the present moment your friend, then your whole life begins to change. If someone watching or listening is saying, well, my present is really challenging right now, how can I actually enjoy the present when I'm in breakdown everywhere?

The problem is lives in the mind. To get out of that. I've got a number of topics today, one being about the law of attraction. I want to talk about stress and anxiety. I want to talk about why people suffer and how to get out of suffering.
