More quotes by Byron Katie
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Byron Katie
You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.
Byron Katie
I was clinically depressed. I was paranoid. I was agoraphobic. I would have days at a time of not being able to even bathe or brush my teeth.
Byron Katie
Seeking love keeps you from the awareness that you already have it—that you are it.
Byron Katie
Look at your life without the thought Something terrible is going to happen.
Byron Katie
I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
Byron Katie
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.
Byron Katie
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
How do I know it was meant to happen this way? Because it did.
Byron Katie
When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.
Byron Katie
I am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.
Byron Katie
But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.
Byron Katie
We don't attach to people or to things we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.
Byron Katie
It takes only one person to have a successful relationship.
Byron Katie
People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.
Byron Katie
Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.
Byron Katie
Never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
The pain shows you what's left to investigate.
Byron Katie
