If I think the environment in the world needs to be cleaned up, let me clean up my own environment. Let me clean up the environment in my head - let me work with that pollution and that ecosystem.
Byron Katie
Image
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Byron Katie
Image
You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
Byron Katie
Image
For me, everything is God. Everything and everyone. So it was just, God needs me now, now, now.
Byron Katie
Image
To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.
Byron Katie
Image
How do I know it was meant to happen this way? Because it did.
Byron Katie
Image
Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.

I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie
Image
If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
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
Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
Image
If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
When we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. The world is exactly as it should be.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.
Byron Katie
Image
No one can give you freedom but you.
Byron Katie
Image
Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
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.
