Here's what I would want for humanity, because this is what I have come to see is true: it's so simple when we listen to people.
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
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
Image
I am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.
Byron Katie
Image
An unquestioned mind is the world of suffering.
Byron Katie
Image
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
Byron Katie
