Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie

Here’s how a child listens: you tell him something, and he puts his own interpretation on what you said. That’s what he hears. No one has ever heard you.

Byron Katie
Image
That's huge: just to clean up one ecosystem.
Byron Katie
Image
The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Image
It's not your job to like me - it's mine
Byron Katie
Image
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
Byron Katie
Image
To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.
