We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
Image
A mind that doesn't question its judgements, makes the world very small and dangerous.
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.

Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
Byron Katie

I have discovered that in every language and every country I have visited, there are no new stories. They're all recycled. The same stressful thoughts arise in each mind one way or another, sooner or later.
Byron Katie
Image
Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.
Byron Katie
Image
You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
Byron Katie
Image
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is what you believe it to be, and it changes as you change.
Byron Katie
Image
How do I know it was meant to happen this way? Because it did.
Byron Katie
Image
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?
Byron Katie

I think our children are afraid to die because we're afraid to die.
