I think that's the trick: wanting what I have.
Byron Katie

I use the word inquiry as synonymous with The Work...Inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.
Byron Katie

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
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
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.

Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
Here’s how a child listens: you tell him something, and he puts his own interpretation on what you said. That’s what he hears. No one has ever heard you.
Byron Katie
Image
If your happiness depends on your children being happy, that makes them your hostages. So stay out of their business, stop using them for your happiness, and be your own happiness. And that way you are the teacher for your children: someone who knows how to live a happy life.
Byron Katie
Image
We suffer only until we realize that we can't know anything.
Byron Katie
Image
Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Byron Katie
Image
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.
Byron Katie
Image
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
