Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.

Byron Katie (2010). “Question Your Thinking, Change the World”, p.30, ReadHowYouWant.com

No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.

Inspirational, Letting Go, Thinking

I love not rushing the process. Mind doesn't shift until it does, and when it does shift, it's right on time, not one second too late or too soon. People are like seeds waiting to sprout. We can't be pushed ahead of our own understanding.

Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell (2008). “Loving What Is: How Four Questions Can Change Your Life”, p.93, Random House

That's what every uncomfortable feeling is for-that's what pain is for, what money is for, what everything in the world is for: your self-realization.

Inspirational, Pain, Self

Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell (2008). “Loving What Is: How Four Questions Can Change Your Life”, p.162, Random House

It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.

Inspirational, Hurt, Pain

It makes sense that no one else can cause you pain. That's your job.

Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell (2008). “Loving What Is: How Four Questions Can Change Your Life”, p.42, Random House

We don't attach to people or to things; we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.

Inspirational, Believe, People

"Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life". Book by Byron Katie and Stephen Mitchell, 2002.

When you do The Work, you see who you are by seeing who you think other people are. Eventually you come to see that everything outside you is a reflection of your own thinking. You are the storyteller, the projector of all stories, and the world is the projected image of your thoughts.

Inspirational, Reflection, Thinking

Byron Katie (2010). “Who Would You Be Without Your Story? (Large Print 16pt)”, p.329, ReadHowYouWant.com

Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.

Without our stories, we are not only able to act clearly and fearlessly, we are also a friend, a listener. We are people living happy lives. We are appreciation and gratitude that have become as natural as breath itself. Happiness is the natural state for someone who knows that there's nothing to know and that we already have everything we need, right here now.

Inspirational, Gratitude, Appreciation

Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.

Inspirational, Pain, Fear

You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.

Inspirational, Pain, Giving

Do you know anyone who hasn't changed his mind? This door was a tree, then it will be firewood for someone, then it will return to air and earth. We're all like that, constantly changing. It's simply honest to report that you've changed your mind when you have. When you're afraid of what people will think if you speak honestly, that's where you become confused.

Inspirational, Confused, Thinking

The pain shows you what's left to investigate.

Inspirational, Pain, Shows

You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.

Inspirational, Believe, Teaching

Do you want to be right more than you want to know the truth? It's the truth that set me free. Acceptance, peace, and less attachment to a world of suffering are all effects of doing The Work. They're not the goals. Do The Work for the love of freedom, for the love of truth.

Inspirational, Freedom, Acceptance

Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.

Inspirational, Pain, Tired

Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell (2008). “Loving What Is: How Four Questions Can Change Your Life”, p.47, Random House

Lack of understanding is always painful.

Inspirational, Pain, Understanding

No one can hurt me - that's my job.

Inspirational, Hurt, Jobs
