I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
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
Love asks for nothing. Only personalities want something.
Byron Katie
Image
I invite everyone to question their thoughts about their children and allow their children to be free. That's when we stop teaching our children fear.
