'I don't know' is my favorite position.
Byron Katie

You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Byron Katie
Image
When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.
Byron Katie
Image
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
Byron Katie
Image
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Byron Katie
Image
I live in a state of grace, where I don't have to know.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
Byron Katie
Image
You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?
Byron Katie
Image
The mind at war with itself does war with any other mind, and that produces war in the world - all of it.
Byron Katie
Image
Don't be careful. You could hurt yourself.
