Wise advice on awareness

Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside - Eckhart Tolle
This quote is a direct instruction to balance your focus. The core message is that your internal state, your thoughts, emotions, and energy, is not just important, it's the primary reality you experience. The outside world is secondary.

Quotes about introspection
