I realized that it's insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose-but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It's blowing!
Byron Katie

It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.
Byron Katie
Image
Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
Byron Katie
Image
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie
Image
Until you look forward to all criticism, your Work's not done.
Byron Katie
Image
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
Byron Katie
Image
Realizing that people should lie when they do makes me a little more open-minded, a little more tolerant, when my child or my partner lies.
