More quotes by Byron Katie

Image
Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.

I like to say it was born out of laughter.

Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone wants peace, inside and outside, and we would all have it if we knew how. Now we know how. It begins with you.
Byron Katie
Image
I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it. Thoughts are like the wind or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They're not personal, they don't belong to us, they just come and go. When they're met with understanding, they're friends.

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
Image
Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.
Byron Katie
Image
As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing out there is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.
Byron Katie
Image
For me, everything is God. Everything and everyone. So it was just, God needs me now, now, now.
Byron Katie
Image
I invite everyone to question their thoughts about their children and allow their children to be free. That's when we stop teaching our children fear.
Byron Katie
Image
The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone in your life is a figment of your imagination--ev en you.
Byron Katie
Image
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
Byron Katie
Image
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Byron Katie
Image
Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.
Byron Katie
Image
The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think.

It's not your job to like me - it's mine
