Have you ever felt like the last person on earth to jump on the bandwagon? Pick-up on the latest trend, fashion or fad?

Well, I finally bought Eckhart Tolle’s book A New Earth.  (It’s been on the New York Times best seller list for 34 weeks and is currently number 1.)

I am halfway though chapter four.  I LOVE this book (I highly recommend it!) as I have had a great number of AHA moments.  So I wondered, why I had not picked it up before now?

A few answers came to me.  Better late than never.  When the student is ready the teacher appears.  There is no time like the present.  (I think the last one is most apropos, as Eckhart teaches about being in the now, now is all there is.)  I was finally ready to hear his message, and to integrate it into my being, my truth.

So it’s OK not to be first.  It’s even OK to be last.  As long as you are learning.

I am also enjoying the chapter-by-chapter archived classes on Oprah’s website hosted by both Oprah and Eckhart.  I am watching each one after I read the chapter.  I have yet to do the workbooks.  For me, this book deserves a second reading.  Like a movie you see more than once, I think I will learn something new with each review.

The more balanced we are as human beings, the more good we can allow into our lives, including prizes!
