If I think the environment in the world needs to be cleaned up, let me clean up my own environment. Let me clean up the environment in my head - let me work with that pollution and that ecosystem.

When I was in my early forties, I slept with a loaded gun under my bed. Id become severely depressed in my thirties, and for almost a decade I spiraled down into paranoia, rage, self-loathing, and thoughts of suicide.
Byron Katie
Image
When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
Byron Katie
Image
The ability to understand the cause of your own suffering gives you the ability to understand ours.
Byron Katie

We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
Byron Katie

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.

When you don't believe something, you can't make yourself believe it. There's nothing you can do to believe it again. You either believe it or you don't.
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
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
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Byron Katie
Image
But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.
Byron Katie
Image
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Image
I like to say it was born out of laughter.
Byron Katie
Image
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.
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.
