Image
When a thought appears such as Do the dishes and you don't do them, notice how an internal war breaks out... The stress and weariness you feel are really mental combat fatigue.
Byron Katie
Image
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Byron Katie
Image
I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it. Thoughts are like the wind or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They're not personal, they don't belong to us, they just come and go. When they're met with understanding, they're friends.
Byron Katie
Image
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
Byron Katie
Image
People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.

You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Byron Katie

Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
Byron Katie
Image
Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.
Byron Katie
Image
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
My experience is the opposite.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.
Byron Katie
Image
The Work is four questions and a turnaround. The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is a very, very simple process. It's for anyone who can answer a question that is willing to. It takes a bit of willingness and an open mind.

The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think.
