A New Earth by Eckhart Tolleby Parker on TwosNothing happens that is not meant to happen. Nothing happens that is not part of the greater whole and it’s purposeIf 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 othersWhatever you cannot enjoy doing, you can at least accept that this is what you have to doAcceptance means: for now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willinglyIf you can neither enjoy or bring acceptance to what you do—stop. Otherwise, you are not taking responsibility for the only thing you can really take responsibility for, which also happens to be one thing that really matters: your state of consciousness. And if you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for lifeInstead of seeing yourself as a famous actor and writing and so on, see yourself inspiring countless people with your work and enriching their lives
