You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
Byron Katie
Image
With inquiry, every painful story unravels. Freedom is possible in every moment.
Byron Katie
Image
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
Byron Katie
Image
Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.
Byron Katie
Image
Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.
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.
Byron Katie
Image
Lack of understanding is always painful.
Byron Katie
Image
Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.

Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.

Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie

Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Image
A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
Byron Katie
Image
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
Image
People try so hard to let go of their negative behaviors and thoughts, and it doesn't work, or it works only for a short time. I didn't let go of my negative thoughts I questioned them, and then they let go of me, and so did my addictions and depression.

When you act like a teacher, it's usually because you're afraid to be the student.
Byron Katie
Image
When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.
Byron Katie
Image
The power of one! If I can't stop war in my life, how can I expect politicians to stop war in the world? I can't. And we all have equal wisdom, so if I can do it then I know that anyone can do it if their mind is open to answering just four simple questions and beginning there.

Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.
