Eckhart Tolle Accept Quotations

Whatever you accept completely, you go beyond. If you fight it, you're stuck with it.

If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

Acceptance of what is immediately frees you from mind identification and thus reconnects you with Being. Resistance is the mind.

Whatever is arising in this moment, whatever condition, is part of the isness of life and therefore accepting it fully makes you an expression of the enormous power of life itself-true intelligence, which only comes when you stop obstructing the power of the present moment.

Action arising out of suffering is contaminated with suffering and causes further suffering, and that is karma. Action that arises out of a state of "acceptance" is totally free of karma. And there is a vast difference.

Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.

When you accept what is, you are grateful for whatever situation arises,

Whatever you accept completely will take you to peace, including the acceptance that you cannot accept, that you are in resistance.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. Each one represents a certain vibrational frequency of consciousness. You need to be vigilant to make sure that one of them operates whenever you are engaged in doing anything at all – from the most simple task to the most complex.

Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.

If you completely accept something, it changes. If you completely accept it, it shifts.

Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.

The mental suffering you create is always some form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgement. The intensity of the suffering depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.

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.

Acceptance of the unacceptable is the greatest source of grace in this world.

Your car breaks down in the middle of the night. It's raining. It's cold. And you have to change the tire of your car. You cannot really enjoy that it is cold and wet, but you can bring acceptance to it. Peace flows into it.

Surrendering only refers to this moment, whatever "is" at this moment - to accept unconditionally and fully whatever arises at this moment.

By learning to accept the small things immediately as they happen, you can be free of having to react to things at all. You still can respond when action is needed, but you can be free, internally, of events.

Acceptance is the embracing of what happens. Acceptance is a way of getting in touch with the deeper, timeless dimension of aware presence, simply through accepting that this is what is happening or this is what I am feeling or thinking.

Surrender is the inner transition from resistance to acceptance, from no to yes.

Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.

If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.

The basis for true change is freedom from negativity. And that's what acceptance implies: no negativity about what is. And then you see what this moment requires: what is it that is required now so that life can express itself more fully?

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.

When you say “yes” to the “isness” of life, when you accept this moment as it is, you can feel a sense of spaciousness within you that is deeply peaceful.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
