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
When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.
Byron Katie
I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
Byron Katie
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Byron Katie
It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.
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
Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
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
I shouldn't steal in this world.
Byron Katie
What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.
Byron Katie
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
You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?
Byron Katie
No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn't have believed them. I thought that you had to die - physically die - to escape.
Byron Katie
Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.
Byron Katie
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.
Byron Katie
Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
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
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.
Byron Katie
An unquestioned mind is the world of suffering.
Byron Katie
