No one can hurt me - that's my job.
Byron Katie
Image
It's very benign, it seems, to think, There's a tree. In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world. We begin to think, Who am I in a world without trees?

Byron Katie
Image
Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.
Byron Katie
Image
Self-realization is not complete until it lives in action.
Byron Katie
Image
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.
Byron Katie
Image
If someone says, Katie, you are out of order, over something I've said, or, Katie, you are wrong, if I defend myself or justify myself, then I have just started the war.
Byron Katie
Image
The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.
