When faced with a radical crisis, when the old way of being in the world, of interacting with each other and with the realm of nature doesn't work anymore, when survival is threatened by seemingly insurmountable problems, an individual life-form -- or a species -- will either die or become extinct or rise above the limitations of its condition through an evolutionary leap. Eckhart Tolle
About This Quote

The world is always faced with challenges. Sometimes the problem isn't so much the problem itself, but how we react to it. For example, if you are afraid of heights, then fears can prevent you from doing what you need to be done. If you are an alcoholic, then alcoholism can prevent you from achieving your goals.

If you are a drug addict, then drug addiction can stop you from living life on your terms. When faced with these kinds of issues, it is easy to fall into despair or simply give up. However, there is another way to look at things; when faced with a radical crisis, when the old way of being in the world, of interacting with each other and with the realm of nature doesn't work anymore, when survival is threatened by seemingly insurmountable problems, an individual life-form -- or a species -- will either die or become extinct or rise above the limitations of its condition through an evolutionary leap."
