I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there's a thought that isn't true for us.

More quotes by Byron Katie
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie

Byron Katie
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
Byron Katie
Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
Byron Katie
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
Self-realization is not complete until it lives in action.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Byron Katie
I can find only three kinds of business in the Universe: mine, yours, and God's.
Byron Katie
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
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 miracle of love comes to you in the presence of the uninterpreted moment. If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life.
Byron Katie
I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
