More quotes by Byron Katie

Image
It's not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It's particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.
Byron Katie
Image
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone wants peace, inside and outside, and we would all have it if we knew how. Now we know how. It begins with you.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Byron Katie
Image
Whatever it takes for you to find your freedom, that's what you've lived.
Byron Katie

What we believe, we see.
Byron Katie
Image
So there's only transcendence in the moment. Nobody can be transcended forever. That's why I say, Who cares if you're enlightened forever?

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
Image
I realized that it's insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose-but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It's blowing!
Byron Katie
Image
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Byron Katie
Image
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.
Byron Katie
Image
If you argue against reality you will suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
Image
Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
Byron Katie
Image
Low self-esteem is not possible when you understand the nature of everything. Depression is not possible. The universe is absolutely friendly.
Byron Katie
Image
When you act like a teacher, it's usually because you're afraid to be the student.
Byron Katie
Image
Joy is a natural way of being.
Byron Katie
Image
If someone says, Katie, you are out of order, over something I've said, or, Katie, you are wrong, if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.
Byron Katie
Image
It's just a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be if you didn't believe this lie?
