More quotes by Byron Katie
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
Byron Katie
The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
Byron Katie
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
I have had the privilege of losing everything.
Byron Katie
I have discovered that in every language and every country I have visited, there are no new stories. They're all recycled. The same stressful thoughts arise in each mind one way or another, sooner or later.
Byron Katie
It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.
Byron Katie
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie
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.
Byron Katie
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
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
Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they're not true.
Byron Katie
When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.
Byron Katie
How do I know it was meant to happen this way? Because it did.
Byron Katie
Who would you be if you didn't believe this lie?
Byron Katie
I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear.
Byron Katie
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
