Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
Image
The more you reveal, the more you have to question and the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it's true.
Byron Katie
Image
When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.
Byron Katie
Image
One morning as I lay sleeping on the floor, a cockroach crawled over my foot. And I opened my eyes out of this dead sleep - about a 43-year sleep - and in place of all that darkness was a joy that I can't describe.
Byron Katie
Image
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
Byron Katie
Image
A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
In my experience, we don't make thoughts appear, they just appear. One day, I noticed that their appearance just wasn't personal. Noticing that really makes it simpler to inquire.
Byron Katie
Image
Lack of understanding is always painful.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
Byron Katie
Image
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Byron Katie
Image
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone in your life is a figment of your imagination--ev en you.
Byron Katie
Image
Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
Whatever it takes for you to find your freedom, that's what you've lived.
Byron Katie
Image
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Byron Katie
Image
I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie
