Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.

Place only your kindest thoughts on everything you experience today. Meet yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.
Byron Katie
Image
The Work always leaves you with less of a story. Who would you be without your story? You never know until you inquire. There is no story that is you or that leads to you. Every story leads away from you. Turn it around undo it. You are what exists before all stories. You are what remains when the story is understood.
Byron Katie
Image
If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
Byron Katie
Image
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Byron Katie
Image
There is no peace in the world until you find peace within yourself in this moment.
Byron Katie
Image
I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.
Byron Katie
Image
Never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
Image
Gratitude is what we are without a story.
Byron Katie
Image
Those questions - when you think about a thought, when you're believing a thought or concept and you question it - you realize that it changes things. Every cell in your body is awake with inquiry.
Byron Katie
Image
If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
Byron Katie
Image
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
Byron Katie
Image
It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.
Byron Katie
Image
The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Byron Katie
Image
When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.
Byron Katie
Image
Affecting the world is obviously possible when we see people in the world who we really love and respect and we see how that they affect our lives.
Byron Katie
Image
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie
Image
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
