That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
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
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.

Byron Katie
Image
Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.
Byron Katie
Image
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
Image
If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
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.
