More quotes by Byron Katie

Image
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.
Byron Katie
Image
With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.
Byron Katie

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Byron Katie
Image
The mind's job is to validate what it thinks.
Byron Katie

Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?
Byron Katie

How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?

Byron Katie
Image
Lack of understanding is always painful.
Byron Katie
Image
An unquestioned mind is the world of suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
Image
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
Image
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Byron Katie
Image
Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.
Byron Katie
Image
I was clinically depressed. I was paranoid. I was agoraphobic. I would have days at a time of not being able to even bathe or brush my teeth.
Byron Katie
Image
Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.
