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
That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
Byron Katie

War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.
Byron Katie
Image
Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they're not true.
Byron Katie

I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.

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
When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.
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

Personalities don't love. They want something.
Byron Katie
Image
Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.
Byron Katie
Image
Self-realization is not complete until it lives in action.
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
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.
Byron Katie
Image
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
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
Until you look forward to all criticism, your Work's not done.
Byron Katie
Image
For me, everything is God. Everything and everyone. So it was just, God needs me now, now, now.
