"To the ego, the present moment is, at best, only a means to an end. It tries to get you to some future moment that is considered more important, even though the future never comes except as the present moment, and is therefore never more than a thought in your head. You are never fully here because you are always trying to get somewhere. Happiness and success are nothing but the present moment. When doing something becomes infused with the timeless quality of Being, that is success."

- Eckhart Tolle in the New Earth
