Byron Katie
Image
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
Image
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
Byron Katie
Image
If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life
Byron Katie
Image
When you don't believe something, you can't make yourself believe it. There's nothing you can do to believe it again. You either believe it or you don't.
Byron Katie
Image
We don’t attach to things we attach to our stories about them.
Byron Katie
Image
No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.
Byron Katie
Image
If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
