Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
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

Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
Byron Katie
Image
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie
Image
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Byron Katie

I've heard people say that they cling to their painful thoughts because they're afraid that without them they wouldn't be activists for peace. If I feel peaceful, they say, why would I bother taking action at all?
Byron Katie

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.

Life just happens. It’s what you’re believing about life that makes you suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.
Byron Katie
Image
Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.
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
That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
Image
A mind that doesn't question its judgements, makes the world very small and dangerous.
Byron Katie
Image
If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
Image
If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
Byron Katie
Image
When you don't believe something, you can't make yourself believe it. There's nothing you can do to believe it again. You either believe it or you don't.
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.
