If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
Byron Katie
Image
I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.
Byron Katie
Image
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Byron Katie
Image
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
Byron Katie

No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.
Byron Katie
Image
Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.
Byron Katie

Byron Katie
Image
Lack of understanding is always painful.
Byron Katie

Who would you be without your story?
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
Image
Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.
Byron Katie
Image
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
Image
I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.
Byron Katie
Image
Just because we love someone, we begin to notice that love is an experience and we have to do something with it. We don't have to marry people or date them because we care about them very deeply. It's an experience.
Byron Katie
Image
Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.
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.
