Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Byron Katie
Image
The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.
Byron Katie
Image
How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?
Byron Katie
Image
Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.
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.
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
Nothing outside you can ever give you what you're looking for.
Byron Katie
Image
No one can hurt me - that's my job.
Byron Katie
Image
To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
Byron Katie
Image
If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
Byron Katie
Image
Never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
Image
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
Byron Katie
Image
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
Image
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
Life just happens. It’s what you’re believing about life that makes you suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Image
Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.
