It's not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It's particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.

More quotes by Byron Katie
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
I live in a state of grace, where I don't have to know.
Byron Katie
I'm most inspired whenever I hear of even the smallest act of human kindness.
Byron Katie
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.
Byron Katie
I think that's the trick: wanting what I have.
Byron Katie
If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
Byron Katie
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
Byron Katie
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
I'm not in Iraq. I'm here in California. Have I had an argument with my husband today? Have I been at war with someone in my life today - or with myself? Let me work on that. That way war is ending somewhere in the world.
Byron Katie
I think our children are afraid to die because we're afraid to die.
Byron Katie
All sadness is a tantrum.
Byron Katie
That's huge: just to clean up one ecosystem.
Byron Katie
Joy is a natural way of being.
Byron Katie
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.
Byron Katie
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.
Byron Katie
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
Byron Katie
