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.

More quotes by Byron Katie
Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.
Byron Katie
Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Byron Katie
The miracle of love comes to you in the presence of the uninterpreted moment. If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life.
Byron Katie
That's what I love about integrity. Each time we go inside, that's where it is.
Byron Katie
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
Byron Katie
If someone says, Katie, you are out of order, over something I've said, or, Katie, you are wrong, if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.
Byron Katie
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie
When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.
Byron Katie
I think that's the trick: wanting what I have.
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
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
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
Byron Katie
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
It takes only one person to have a successful relationship.
Byron Katie
Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it's true.
Byron Katie
We cannot see what we don't believe.
Byron Katie
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
Byron Katie
Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
Byron Katie
It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.
Byron Katie
Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
Byron Katie
