As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing out there is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.

More quotes by Byron Katie
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
I shouldn't steal in this world.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?
Byron Katie
Who would you be if you didn't believe this lie?
Byron Katie
Seeking love keeps you from the awareness that you already have it—that you are it.
Byron Katie
The best way of leading people is to let them find their own way.
Byron Katie
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
You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.
Byron Katie
Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie
What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.
Byron Katie
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
Byron Katie
I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace. If I feel peaceful, they say, why would I bother taking action at all?
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 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
Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
Byron Katie
So what is it with your mother that you haven't worked out yet?
Byron Katie
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
I suffered from severe depression for over a decade. My condition deteriorated steadily. I was suicidal.
Byron Katie
I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.
Byron Katie
