I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.

We cannot see what we don't believe.
Byron Katie
Image
When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.
Byron Katie
Image
We all begin to do what we can do, just like we're doing now, to clean up the planet and to find solutions rather than fight. It just happens everywhere.
Byron Katie
Image
Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
Byron Katie
Image
You don't have to feel bad to act kindly. Love doesn't stand by, it moves with the speed of clarity.
Byron Katie
