The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
Byron Katie
You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.
Byron Katie
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
Byron Katie
It takes only one person to have a successful relationship.
