I suffered from severe depression for over a decade. My condition deteriorated steadily. I was suicidal.
Byron Katie
Image
If you argue against reality you will suffer.
Byron Katie
Image
I realized that it's insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose-but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It's blowing!
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
Image
Seeking love keeps you from the awareness that you already have it—that you are it.
Byron Katie

Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
Byron Katie
Image
If your happiness depends on your children being happy, that makes them your hostages. So stay out of their business, stop using them for your happiness, and be your own happiness. And that way you are the teacher for your children: someone who knows how to live a happy life.
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

Lack of understanding is always painful.
Byron Katie
Image
Don't be careful. You could hurt yourself.

The teacher you need is the person you're living with.
Byron Katie
Image
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
Byron Katie
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
Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
Byron Katie
Image
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
Byron Katie
Image
You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?
Byron Katie
Image
Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.
Byron Katie
