The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
Image

Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Byron Katie
Image
When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
