Byron Katie
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
Byron Katie
Everything that happens is God's will. When you realize that, you're home free.
Byron Katie
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.

Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.
Byron Katie
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
The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.
Byron Katie
It only takes one clear person to have a good relationship.
Byron Katie
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
Byron Katie
Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
Byron Katie
Gratitude is what we are without a story.
Byron Katie
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie
Until you look forward to all criticism, your Work's not done.
Byron Katie
When you don't believe something, you can't make yourself believe it. There's nothing you can do to believe it again. You either believe it or you don't.
