Image
Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.
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.
Byron Katie
Image
Affecting the world is obviously possible when we see people in the world who we really love and respect and we see how that they affect our lives.
Byron Katie
Image
Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
Image
My experience is the opposite.
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 love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.

If I think the environment in the world needs to be cleaned up, let me clean up my own environment. Let me clean up the environment in my head - let me work with that pollution and that ecosystem.
Byron Katie
Image

Byron Katie

Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
Byron Katie

When you’re focused outside and believe that your problem is caused by someone else, rather than by your attachment to the story you’re believing in the moment, then you are your own victim, and the situation appears to be hopeless.
Byron Katie
Image
The pain shows you what's left to investigate.
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 world is a projection of our thoughts - the thoughts we believe.
Byron Katie
Image
War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.
Byron Katie
Image
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.
Byron Katie
Image
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?
Byron Katie
Image
I suffered from severe depression for over a decade. My condition deteriorated steadily. I was suicidal.

Stress never feels as natural as peace does
