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
Image
I suffered from severe depression for over a decade. My condition deteriorated steadily. I was suicidal.
Byron Katie
Image
I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality. We can know that reality is good just as it is, because when we argue with it, we experience tension and frustration. We don't feel natural or balanced. When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
The most important relationship is the mind's relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate - and, really, the only - relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.

No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.
Byron Katie
Image
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie
Image
If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.
Byron Katie
Image
The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.
Byron Katie
Image
There's no nightmare you can't wake yourself up from.
Byron Katie
Image
If you want reality to be different than it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.

My life is a contribution.
Byron Katie

When we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. The world is exactly as it should be.
