The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
Byron Katie
Image
The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
Byron Katie
Image
We don't attach to people or to things we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.
Byron Katie

I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality.

When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
Image
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
Byron Katie

Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
Image
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
Byron Katie

When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.
Byron Katie
Image
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.
Byron Katie
Image
Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they're not true.
Byron Katie
Image
When a thought appears such as Do the dishes and you don't do them, notice how an internal war breaks out... The stress and weariness you feel are really mental combat fatigue.
Byron Katie
Image
Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
