Byron Katie
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
Byron Katie
Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.
Byron Katie
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
Byron Katie
Low self-esteem is not possible when you understand the nature of everything. Depression is not possible. The universe is absolutely friendly.
