Image
You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected
Byron Katie
Image
Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.
Byron Katie
Image
And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.

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
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.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Byron Katie
Image
No one can hurt me - that's my job.
Byron Katie
Image
When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives
Byron Katie
Image
You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.
Byron Katie
Image
Behold your world! The judgments you believe just created it.
Byron Katie
Image
Don't be careful. You could hurt yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
Image
I'm the one who changes the world if I can follow what I think should and shouldn't be lived in this world.
Byron Katie
Image
We cannot see what we don't believe.
Byron Katie
Image
It's not your job to like me - it's mine
Byron Katie
Image
When you’re focused outside and believe that your problem is caused by someone else, rather than by your attachment to the story you’re believing in the moment, then you are your own victim, and the situation appears to be hopeless.
Byron Katie
Image
If you argue against reality you will suffer.
