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.

More quotes by Byron Katie
Everyone in your life is a figment of your imagination--ev en you.
Byron Katie
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie
I'm most inspired whenever I hear of even the smallest act of human kindness.
Byron Katie
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
I think our children are afraid to die because we're afraid to die.
Byron Katie
The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious. Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed. It can never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
Byron Katie
Who would you be if you didn't believe this lie?
Byron Katie
Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
Byron Katie
But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.
Byron Katie
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
Byron Katie
One morning as I lay sleeping on the floor, a cockroach crawled over my foot. And I opened my eyes out of this dead sleep - about a 43-year sleep - and in place of all that darkness was a joy that I can't describe.
Byron Katie
No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that you had to die - physically die - to escape.
Byron Katie
Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.
Byron Katie
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
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. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
There is no peace in the world until you find peace within yourself in this moment.
Byron Katie
We don't attach to people or to things we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.
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
Your parents are your projection-nothing more.
Byron Katie
