If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You don’t have to direct it the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.
Byron Katie
Image
The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
Byron Katie
Image
The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.
Byron Katie

If you argue against reality you will suffer.
Byron Katie

It's not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace.
Byron Katie
Image
I am the perpetrator of my suffering - but only all of it.
Byron Katie
Image
To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.
Byron Katie
Image
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
Byron Katie
Image
I don't let go of concepts -I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Image
The voice within is what I'm married to. All marriage is a metaphor for that marriage. My lover is the place inside me where an honest yes and no come from. That's my true partner. It's always there. And to tell you yes when my integrity says no is to divorce that partner.
Byron Katie
Image
All sadness is a tantrum.
Byron Katie
Image
I invite everyone to question their thoughts about their children and allow their children to be free. That's when we stop teaching our children fear.
Byron Katie
Image
Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.
Byron Katie
Image
Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.
Byron Katie
Image
Forgiveness is discovering that what you thought happened, didn’t.
Byron Katie
Image
The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
Byron Katie
Image
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.

I can find only three kinds of business in the Universe: mine, yours, and God's.
