Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Byron Katie
Image
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
Byron Katie
Image
If something happens to your son, your thoughts about not having him in your life is what your terror is. It's not about his life.
Byron Katie

When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
Byron Katie
Image
Everything that happens is God's will. When you realize that, you're home free.
