Byron Katie

My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we’re living with right now.

Byron Katie

No one told me that you could be alive and be happy. No one told me, and if someone had I wouldn’t have believed them. I thought that you had to die – physically die – to escape.

Byron Katie

Not-knowing is the way to understanding.

Byron Katie

Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.

Byron Katie

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

Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.

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

Pain is nothing to fear; it’s something to understand.

Byron Katie

People don’t need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It’s a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.

Byron Katie

Put your stressful thoughts on paper, question them, and have a great life.
