Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie
Image
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.
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

What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind
Byron Katie
Image
When you’re focused outside and believe that your problem is caused by someone else, rather than by your attachment to the story you’re believing in the moment, then you are your own victim, and the situation appears to be hopeless.
Byron Katie
Image
Love is action. It's clear, it's kind, it's effortless, and it's irresistible.
Byron Katie
Image
Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
So there's only transcendence in the moment. Nobody can be transcended forever. That's why I say, Who cares if you're enlightened forever?
Byron Katie
Image
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.
Byron Katie
Image
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
Image
You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Byron Katie
Image
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
