More quotes by Byron Katie
To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
Byron Katie
Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around.
Byron Katie
As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing out there is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.
Byron Katie
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
Byron Katie
Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.
Byron Katie
Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear.
Byron Katie
I use the word inquiry as synonymous with The Work...Inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.
Byron Katie
'I don't know' is my favorite position.
Byron Katie
If I think the environment in the world needs to be cleaned up, let me clean up my own environment. Let me clean up the environment in my head - let me work with that pollution and that ecosystem.
Byron Katie
If you argue against reality you will suffer.
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
I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
Byron Katie
The most important relationship is the mind's relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate - and, really, the only - relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.
Byron Katie
There is no mistake in nature.
Byron Katie
You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected
Byron Katie
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
Byron Katie
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 have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there's a thought that isn't true for us.
Byron Katie
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Byron Katie
