When I was in Brazil recently, I packed Eckhart Tolle’s, “A New Earth Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose, along with my IPOD and the podcasts he and Oprah Winfrey made for each chapter of the book.  If you have read the book, I highly recommend downloading the podcasts from ITunes which is free.  One of the most useful nuggets of information that I use daily to help keep my thinking positive is the following:  Eckhart asks, “Do you want to make a friend or an enemy of the present moment”..?  WOW!  This could be my mantra…because in my humanness…so many times…. I reacted to a situation negatively, and ended up working myself into a very bad mood.  I have found it simply isn’t worth it!  The only person I really hurt by doing this is myself…it may be unfortunate for those around me to have to listen to me when it happens…which is less now than it used to be..but it is me, the individual who is paying the price for making an enemy of the present moment…..of course, this is a practice and this is what Eckhart Tolle keeps reminding us…good stuff!!!
