More quotes by Byron Katie
If your happiness depends on your children being happy, that makes them your hostages. So stay out of their business, stop using them for your happiness, and be your own happiness. And that way you are the teacher for your children: someone who knows how to live a happy life.
Byron Katie
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
Love asks for nothing. Only personalities want something.
Byron Katie
The mind's job is to validate what it thinks.

Byron Katie
But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.
Byron Katie
With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
Byron Katie
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?
Byron Katie
When you act like a teacher, it's usually because you're afraid to be the student.
Byron Katie
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
Byron Katie
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
Byron Katie
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
Byron Katie
You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Byron Katie
