More quotes by Byron Katie
Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.
Byron Katie
When you question what you believe, you leave the world, really, and what the world believes. It puts you in a very interesting position.
Byron Katie
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.
Byron Katie
Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.
Byron Katie
If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.
Byron Katie
That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
Byron Katie
One morning in February 1986, out of nowhere, I experienced a realization. In an instant, I discovered that when I believed my stressful thoughts, I suffered, but when I questioned them, I didn't suffer.
Byron Katie
The ego is terrified of the truth. And the truth is that the ego doesn't exist.
Byron Katie
If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life
Byron Katie
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Byron Katie
The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
Byron Katie
Place only your kindest thoughts on everything you experience today. Meet yourself.
Byron Katie
When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.
Byron Katie
I'm most inspired whenever I hear of even the smallest act of human kindness.
Byron Katie
If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
Byron Katie
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment.
Byron Katie
I think our children are afraid to die because we're afraid to die.
Byron Katie
It only takes one clear person to have a good relationship.
Byron Katie
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron Katie
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.
