Please do look out for opportunities, but beyond that for all the great things life has to offer. Oftentimes I find myself unhappy because of a particular things, until I realize I have so many other things to be grateful and happy about... then it doesn't seem as important anymore. <br><br>Good luck!

Words and language are hard-wired into our brains, so learning to control language is a connected to learning to control ourselves.

So instead of saying, “I'm PISSED OFF!”, say something like, “I'm tinkled”. Instead of saying “I'm fine,” say “I'm supercalifragilisticexplicalidocious fantabulously amazingly brilliant!” (OK probably not, but you get the idea)
Interestingly, it does work!
I really find it fascinating how powerful our language can be. =)

Although I have not read "The Power of Now" yet (it's on queue), I must say that "A New Earth" had a similar effect on me. I sometimes stop and think about how I'm behaving and realize that some of the things I am doing at the moment are a product of my ego, and wanting to be recognized by others rather than being pleased and at ease with the present moment. It's good to stop and enjoy the moment rather than endlessly pursuing happiness -- happiness must be found within us, after all. <br><br>I'm very happy to see that such a remarkable book has made its way to many other people and has made such a good impact.

I've read both of Eckhart Tolle's books, "A New Earth" and "The Power of Now". These books have changed my life and the way I live my life and see others living and my reactions to everything and most importantly, my thoughts. I am now in a continuous practice of living in the now and not in my mind...my thoughts. I feel this is a must read for every human. I incessantly thought not knowing what I was "doing." I just thought it was me and since I'm human, I'm supposed to do that. I am more at peace now, do not react to things I used to and am more compassionate towards people as we all are going through this as a species. Great post.
