That's a great quote, Eckhart Tolle is the best. I was thinking however, that he is saying that there is some mysterious force 'life' that is determining our fate, and that we don't have the power to influence our destiny through our own choices. Is this your interpretation of the quote SH?
qt, I understand this quote to teach us that we must control that which we can control and let that which we can not take its course for our benefit. I do not believe in mysterious forces that control me or take away my free will. It is a balance. Control you, your thoughts, your actions, and how you treat others. Do not waste focus or energy trying to control other people, or forces outside of ourself. This is basically the secret to life. Look to those influential figures in our history and this can become more clear. Abe Lincoln controlled himself and influenced change. He did not focus on what others thought of him. Mother Theresa, the Dali Lama, Martin Luther King, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, etc.
My point is, focus on you and control of you. That will give you influence over life. Discontinue lamenting what happens around you and the mistakes you have made, those have simply led you to where you are.
