Byron Katie
Image
The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.
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
Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around.
