“You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you.”
— Eckhart Tolle

Simplified Meaning:
To become a better person, you don't need to force yourself to do good things all the time. Instead, you should recognize and use the goodness that already exists inside you. Think about someone who is naturally kind. They don't have to push themselves to be kind; it's just a part of who they are. For example, a friend who always listens to others and offers a helping hand doesn't do it because they think they have to. They do it because they care. By understanding and embracing the kindness, patience, or generosity that is already part of you, you can become a truly good person in a natural way. To apply this, you can take time to reflect on your positive qualities and let them guide your actions.
