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.

More quotes by Byron Katie
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
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
The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.
Byron Katie
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
Byron Katie
When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.
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
It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.
Byron Katie
It is not your business to love me. It is mine.
Byron Katie
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.
Byron Katie
The ability to understand the cause of your own suffering gives you the ability to understand ours.
Byron Katie
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
Byron Katie
I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there's a thought that isn't true for us.
Byron Katie
I'm not in Iraq. I'm here in California. Have I had an argument with my husband today? Have I been at war with someone in my life today - or with myself? Let me work on that. That way war is ending somewhere in the world.
Byron Katie
Who would you be without the thought I need more money to be safe? You might be a lot easier to be with. You might even begin to notice the laws of generosity, the laws of letting money go out fearlessly and come back fearlessly. You don't ever need more money than you have.
Byron Katie
Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
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
The Work: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without the thought?
Byron Katie
Whenever you think that your needs are not being met, you’re telling the story of a future
Byron Katie
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
Byron Katie
I can find only three kinds of business in the Universe: mine, yours, and God's.
