Eckhart Tolle

But there are some people, the most successful people, they look at the obstacle instead of reacting against it. They immediately see what it is that can be done to either circumvent the obstacle or transform it into something positive. You direct attention to the situation. I call that responding rather than reacting. Yes, yeah.

I don't feel the suffering anymore at all. It's like evaporated. I remember it. I remember, for example, In my childhood, I was mostly unhappy because of an unstable family background. I didn't have a happy childhood. I remember that. But on a feeling level, I don't revive it. It's not there anymore. It exhausted itself. It evaporated or it got burned up by the presence.

I don't know exactly how to put it. But the unhappiness has not survived in me, except as a memory, but not on an emotional level. So it's gone, which is good.

And so that also explains why many people have a resistance. As every therapist knows, many people have a resistance towards letting go of their unhappiness. So the therapist tries to... Because that has become their identity. That's their story. They think they lose themselves if they let go of their unhappiness.

Thank you. I have a comment on that. When life gets challenging, a human being can go two ways. And very often when life gets difficult, some loss, obstacles, many ways challenge can present itself. You can either become more identified with the ego and you become more unhappy. You become a very unhappy human being. reactive, angry, resentful, despondent.
