Byron Katie quotes about
I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
No one can give you freedom but you.
I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.
You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
For me, if somebody tells me to go away, that is an opportunity: for me to give the person a better life, to realize where not to be, and to see what could be even better than being with that person I love.
Nothing outside you can ever give you what you're looking for.
Placing the blame or judgment on someone else leaves you powerless to change your experience; taking responsibility for your beliefs and judgments gives you the power to change them
The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, "Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think."
If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
Freedom is our birthright.
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.
There is no thought or situation that you can't put up against inquiry. Every thought, every person, every apparent problem is here for the sake of your freedom.
Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.
