Byron Katie quotes about
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
It's our nature to be free, and until we're stuck in a stressful belief system, we're pretty happy.
Asking the questions - that's what changes lives. Every cell in your body is awake with inquiry. And you cannot believe the old thoughts again.
When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
You can never make yourself believe that you're loveable, however hard you try, because when the chips are down what you really believe rises to the surface of the mind to replace what you want to believe.
It's a wonderful world when you have what you want at all times.
There's no one who can teach you except yourself. Each of us needs to look at what our belief system really consists of. Look at the concepts that come across your mind and just notice what you believe.
When you say or do anything to please, get, keep, influence, or control anyone or anything, fear is the cause and pain is the result.
You cannot hurt me. Only I can do that.
If you're yelling within you that they shouldn't yell at you, that is where the pain begins, not with their yelling at you.
If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
Place only your kindest thoughts on everything you experience today. Meet yourself.
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
