Surrendering to the present becomes much easier when you understand the transitory nature of all phenomena and experiences and that the world is unable to give you an eternal, unshakable value. Everything continues as before - relationships with people, business, work, relationships with friends and loved ones - but without the fears and desires of the ego. You no longer demand that a situation, a person, an event satisfy or make you happy. You accepted their transient, imperfect essence and allowed it to be.
And a miracle happens: when you no longer make unrealistic demands on the world, every situation, every event, every encounter with people and every place becomes not only more satisfying, but also more harmonious, more peaceful.
Silence speaks
Eckhart Tolle
