The world is a projection of our thoughts - the thoughts we believe.
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
We don't attach to people or to things we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.
Byron Katie
Image
Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.
Byron Katie
Image
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
Byron Katie
Image
The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.
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
In my experience, we don't make thoughts appear, they just appear. One day, I noticed that their appearance just wasn't personal. Noticing that really makes it simpler to inquire.
Byron Katie
Image
When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.
Byron Katie
Image
Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?
Byron Katie
Image
Everything that happens is God's will. When you realize that, you're home free.
Byron Katie
Image
Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?
Byron Katie
Image
all the advice you ever gave your partner is for you to hear
Byron Katie
Image
The more you reveal, the more you have to question and the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom.
Byron Katie
Image
I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.
Byron Katie
Image
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie
Image
Stress never feels as natural as peace does
Byron Katie
Image
It's not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace.
Byron Katie
Image
Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Byron Katie
Image
Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.
