When you’re focused outside and believe that your problem is caused by someone else, rather than by your attachment to the story you’re believing in the moment, then you are your own victim, and the situation appears to be hopeless.

More quotes by Byron Katie
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
Byron Katie
I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.
Byron Katie
I havent had a single thought for 26 years. I have only understanding. Its somewhat complicated to understand that. Ive hardly ever spoken about it. Youre in a state of total peace of mind. A kind of nirvana.
Byron Katie
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
Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it's true.
Byron Katie
Never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Byron Katie
I realized that it's insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose-but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It's blowing!
Byron Katie
There is no mistake in nature.
Byron Katie
Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.
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
Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around.
Byron Katie
Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.
Byron Katie
I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.
Byron Katie
You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?
Byron Katie
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.
Byron Katie
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
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
Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.
Byron Katie
When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives
