I think that's the trick: wanting what I have.
Byron Katie
Image
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.

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
Image
I am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.
Byron Katie
Image
To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
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
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.
Byron Katie
Image
As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.
Byron Katie
Image
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
Byron Katie
