I am the perpetrator of my suffering - but only all of it.
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.

Image
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?

Byron Katie
Image
If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
Byron Katie
Image
When a thought appears such as Do the dishes and you don't do them, notice how an internal war breaks out... The stress and weariness you feel are really mental combat fatigue.
Byron Katie
Image
Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives
Byron Katie
Image
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.
Byron Katie
Image
Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
Byron Katie
Image
I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
I'm most inspired whenever I hear of even the smallest act of human kindness.
Byron Katie
Image
Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.
