Byron Katie

Freedom isn’t a destination; it’s a state of mind.

Byron Katie

I don’t let go of my thoughts – I meet them with inquiry; then they let go of me.

Byron Katie

I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn’t caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there’s a thought that isn’t true for us.

Byron Katie

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

Byron Katie

If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.

Byron Katie

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

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

Insanity is arguing with reality.

Byron Katie

It’s not the darkness that people fear; it’s what they imagine into the darkness.

Byron Katie

It’s not your job to like me – it’s mine.
