Eckhart Tolle brings profound spiritual wisdom to the concept of progress. We often get lost in regrets about the past or anxiety about the future, but the only part of our journey that truly exists is "the step that you are taking at this moment."

This present-moment action is the point of power where we can actually influence our direction. The past is a memory, the future is a projection—only now is real. By bringing full mindfulness to our current step, we infuse it with intention and quality, which naturally shapes our entire path.

This quote is an invitation to ground ourselves in presence. It teaches that the entire journey is built one conscious step at a time, and that the quality of our attention to this moment determines the quality of our destination.
