Quote

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.

Don't be careful. You could hurt yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Byron Katie
Image
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

Your parents are your projection-nothing more.
Byron Katie
Image
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.

Byron Katie

Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.
Byron Katie
Image
People try so hard to let go of their negative behaviors and thoughts, and it doesn't work, or it works only for a short time. I didn't let go of my negative thoughts I questioned them, and then they let go of me, and so did my addictions and depression.
Byron Katie
Image
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
Byron Katie
Image
It is not your business to love me. It is mine.
Byron Katie
Image
Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
Byron Katie
Image
I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie
