The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think.

More quotes by Byron Katie
My life is a contribution.
Byron Katie
'I don't know' is my favorite position.
Byron Katie
Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.
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
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
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
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
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
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
Byron Katie
It only takes one clear person to have a good relationship.
Byron Katie
A dishonest yes is a no to yourself.
Byron Katie
What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.
Byron Katie
If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
Byron Katie
The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.
Byron Katie
Clarity moves much more efficiently than violence or stress.
Byron Katie
To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
Byron Katie
When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
Byron Katie
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
Those questions - when you think about a thought, when you're believing a thought or concept and you question it - you realize that it changes things. Every cell in your body is awake with inquiry.
Byron Katie
Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.
Byron Katie
