Who would you be without your story?
Byron Katie
Image
What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Image
When you don't believe something, you can't make yourself believe it. There's nothing you can do to believe it again. You either believe it or you don't.
Byron Katie

Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.
Byron Katie

Love is action. It's clear, it's kind, it's effortless, and it's irresistible.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?
Byron Katie
Image
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
