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.

That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
Byron Katie
Peace doesn't require two people it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.
Byron Katie
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
Byron Katie
If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
Byron Katie
Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
Byron Katie
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.
Byron Katie
I am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.
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
It's not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It's particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.
Byron Katie
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
People try so hard to let go of their negative behaviors and thoughts, and it doesn't work, or it works only for a short time. I didn't let go of my negative thoughts I questioned them, and then they let go of me, and so did my addictions and depression.
Byron Katie
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie
In my experience, we don't make thoughts appear, they just appear. One day, I noticed that their appearance just wasn't personal. Noticing that really makes it simpler to inquire.
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
I was clinically depressed. I was paranoid. I was agoraphobic. I would have days at a time of not being able to even bathe or brush my teeth.
Byron Katie
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.
Byron Katie
You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected
