Image
A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.

Even breathing is a contribution.
Byron Katie
Image
I suffered from severe depression for over a decade. My condition deteriorated steadily. I was suicidal.

If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
Image
With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
Fear is blind. There are some options in it, but they're very limited as compared to the options available to the fearless mind.
Byron Katie
Image
I love being free enough that I can be so intimate with people, and that people are free enough that we can all be intimate with each other!
Byron Katie
Image
Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
Byron Katie

When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
My experience is the opposite.
Byron Katie
Image
The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.
Byron Katie
Image
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.
Byron Katie
Image
That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
Byron Katie
Image
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
Image
Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
Byron Katie
Image
The miracle of love comes to you in the presence of the uninterpreted moment. If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life.
Byron Katie
Image
People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.
