As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.
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
Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
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
What we believe, we see.
Byron Katie
Image
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie
Image
Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
Byron Katie
Image
When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
Byron Katie
Image
The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
Even breathing is a contribution.
Byron Katie
Image
That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.
Byron Katie
Image
Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.
Byron Katie
Image
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Image
When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without the thought I need more money to be safe? You might be a lot easier to be with. You might even begin to notice the laws of generosity, the laws of letting money go out fearlessly and come back fearlessly. You don't ever need more money than you have.
Byron Katie
Image
If someone says, Katie, you are out of order, over something I've said, or, Katie, you are wrong, if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.
Byron Katie
Image
Love is action. It's clear, it's kind, it's effortless, and it's irresistible.
Byron Katie
Image
That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
Byron Katie
