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.

I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.

Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.

I live in a state of grace, where I don't have to know.

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
Image
Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it.

The Work: 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without the thought?
