More quotes by 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
Image
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Byron Katie
Image
That's huge: just to clean up one ecosystem.
Byron Katie
Image
If you argue against reality you will suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Byron Katie
Image
Whatever it takes for you to find your freedom, that's what you've lived.
Byron Katie
Image
Never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
Image
The more you reveal, the more you have to question and the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom.
Byron Katie

all the advice you ever gave your partner is for you to hear
Byron Katie
Image
The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
Image
I know that even at moments of apparent danger, nothing is out of order or lacking, other than our own unquestioned thoughts about those moments.
Byron Katie
Image
When you act like a teacher, it's usually because you're afraid to be the student.
Byron Katie
Image
Behold your world! The judgments you believe just created it.
Byron Katie
Image
Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
Byron Katie
Image
The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Stress never feels as natural as peace does
Byron Katie
Image
Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.
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
