The Work Always Leaves You With Less Of A Story. Who Would You Be Without Your Story? You Never Know Until You Inquire. There Is No Story That Is You Or That Leads To You. Every Story Leads Away From You. Turn It Around; Undo It. You Are What Exists Before All Stories. You Are What Remains When The Story Is Understood.

More From Byron Katie

We Don’t Attach To Things; We Attach To Our Stories About Them.

It's Difficult To Seek Other People's Love. It's Deadly. In Seeking It You Lose What Is Genuine. This Is The Prison We Create For Ourselves As We Seek What We Already Have.

The Ultimate And Dearest - And, Again, Only - Relationship We Have Is The Relationship We Have With Our Thoughts.

Every Mind Deserves To Be Free. When The Mind Is Free, That's The End Of Suffering.

The World Is As You Perceive It To Be. For Me, Clarity Is A Word For Beauty. It’s What I Am. And When I’m Clear, I See Only Beauty. Nothing Else Is Possible.

We Begin To Not Be Human, As We've Known It, Any Longer. But To Be Just Creative Minds And Action, Whereas Right Now We're Confused Minds And Actions, And Our Environment Mirrors That Back To Us.

Love Is Who We Are Without Our Stories.

When A Thought Appears Such As "do The Dishes" And You Don't Do Them, Notice How An Internal War Breaks Out... The Stress And Weariness You Feel Are Really Mental Combat Fatigue.

I Live In A State Of Grace, Where I Don't Have To Know.

Actually, I Can't Take Credit For Any Of My Decisions. I Noticed One Day That All My Decisions Were Making Themselves, And Always At The Right Time. I Haven't Had To Make One Decision Since Then. They Are Always Made For Me, And They Come From The Wisdom That Is In Us All. I Trust That Wisdom Completely. That Trust Itself Was A Decision Made For Me As Inquiry Cleared My Mind. No Decision, No Fear.

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.

Your Most Intimate Relationship Is The One You Have With Your Thoughts.

Intimate Relationships

That's The Purpose Of Stress. It's A Friend. It's An Alarm Clock, Built In To Let You Know That It's Time To Do The Work.

You Don't Get To Vote On What Is. Have You Noticed?

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.

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.

I Invite Everyone To Question Their Thoughts About Their Children And Allow Their Children To Be Free. That's When We Stop Teaching Our Children Fear.

Judge Your Neighbor, Write It Down. Ask Four Questions, Turn It Around.

I Stopped Waiting For The World To Give Me What I Wanted; I Started Giving It To Myself.

When Your Mind Opens, The Whole World Falls Into Place.

When We Work With Our Thinking, Then To Have Great Wealth Is The Same As To Have Nothing. That's The Only Freedom.

When I Believed My Thoughts I Suffered.

Defense Is The First Act Of War.

If Something Happens To Your Son, Your Thoughts About Not Having Him In Your Life Is What Your Terror Is. It's Not About His Life.

You Are What Exists Before All Stories.

You Don't Have To Feel Bad To Act Kindly. Love Doesn't Stand By, It Moves With The Speed Of Clarity.

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.

Uncomfortable Feeling

The Miracle Of Love Comes To You In The Presence Of The Uninterpreted Moment. If You Are Mentally Somewhere Else, You Miss Real Life.

Ultimately, I Am All I Can Know.

Sleep Just Gives The Ego A Little Time Out. It Has To Stay Strong In Order To Be Something That It Isn't.

I Came To See That The World Is Always As It Should Be, Whether I Opposed It Or Not.

When You're Operating On Uninvestigated Theories Of What's Going On And You Aren't Even Aware Of It, You're In What I Call "the Dream." Often The Dream Becomes Troubling; Sometimes It Even Turns Into A Nightmare. At Times Like These, You May Want To Test The Truth Of Your Theories By Doing The Work On Them. The Work Always Leaves You With Less Of Your Uncomfortable Story. Who Would You Be Without It? How Much Of Your World Is Made Up Of Unexamined Stories? You'll Never Know Until You Inquire.

Times Like These

Suffering Over Things That Have Happened To Us Is Nothing More Than An Argument With The Past.

The Nature Of Mind Is That It Loves Everything Once It Loves Itself, Just As It Opposes Everything When It Opposes Itself.

What Is Perfect Health? The Unraveling Of All Imagined States Of Mind

It Takes Only One Person To Have A Successful Relationship.

Successful Relationship

Any Stressful Thought That You Have About The Planet, For Example, Shows You Where You Are Stuck, Where Your Energy Is Being Exhausted In Not Fully Meeting Life As It Is, Without Conditions.

The World Is Nothing But My Perception Of It. I See Only Through Myself. I Hear Only Through The Filter Of My Story.

Low Self-esteem Is Not Possible When You Understand The Nature Of Everything. Depression Is Not Possible. The Universe Is Absolutely Friendly.

Your Parents Are Your Projection-nothing More.

It Is Not Your Business To Love Me. It Is Mine.

In The Fall, You Don't Grieve Because The Leaves Are Falling And Dying. You Say, "isn't It Beautiful!" Well, We're The Same Way. There Are Seasons. We All Fall Sooner Or Later. It's All So Beautiful. And Our Concepts, Without Investigation, Keep Us From Knowing This. It's Beautiful To Be A Leaf, To Be Born, To Fall, To Give Way To The Next, To Become Food For The Roots. It's Life, Always Changing Its Form And Always Giving Itself Completely. We All Do Our Part. No Mistake.

If I Had A Prayer, It Would Be This: "god, Spare Me From The Desire For Love, Approval, Or Appreciation. Amen."

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.

If You Think The Cause Of Your Problem Is 'out There,' You'll Try To Solve It From The Outside. Take The Shortcut: Solve It From Within.

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.

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."

I've Heard People Say That They Cling To Their Painful Thoughts Because They're Afraid That Without Them They Wouldn't Be Activists For Peace. “if I Feel Peaceful,” They Say, “why Would I Bother Taking Action At All?” My Answer Is “because That's What Love Does.” To Think That We Need Sadness Or Outrage To Motivate Us To Do What's Right Is Insane. As If The Clearer And Happier You Get, The Less Kind You Become. As If When Someone Finds Freedom, She Just Sits Around All Day With Drool Running Down Her Chin. My Experience Is The Opposite. Love Is Action.

Here’s How A Child Listens: You Tell Him Something, And He Puts His Own Interpretation On What You Said. That’s What He Hears. No One Has Ever Heard You.

No One Can Give You Freedom But You.

Freedom Of Expression

The Way To Truly Help Someone Is For Me To Not Get Immersed In Their Suffering.

Every Uncomfortable Feeling, Every Pain, Every Moment Of Stress & Suffering Is For Your Own Self-realizatio N.

That's Where The Fear Comes From-from Your Uninvestigated Thoughts.

There's No Nightmare You Can't Wake Yourself Up From.

The World Isn't What I've Believed It To Be, And I Am Not What I Believed Me To Be, And Neither Is Anyone.

We Fear Only What We Haven’t Understood.

You Can't Drop Concepts. You Can Only Shine A Little Flashlight On Them As You Do Inquiry, An You See That What You Thought Was True Wasn't. And When The Truth Is Seen, There's Nothing You Can Do To Make The Lie True For You Again.

It's For Each Of Us To Look At What We Really Do Believe - What Our Belief System Really Consists Of.

We All Begin To Do What We Can Do, Just Like We're Doing Now, To Clean Up The Planet And To Find Solutions Rather Than Fight. It Just Happens Everywhere.

No One Has Ever Been Angry At Another Human Being-we’re Only Angry At Our Story Of Them.

An Uncomfortable Feeling Is Not An Enemy. It's A Gift That Says, "get Honest; Inquire." We Reach Out For Alcohol, Or Television, Or Credit Cards, So We Can Focus Out There And Not Have To Look At The Feeling. And That's As It Should Be, Because In Our Innocence We Haven't Known How. So Now What We Can Do Is Reach Out For A Paper And A Pencil, Write Thought Down, And Investigate.

Uncomfortable Feeling

I See The Goodness And Beauty In Everyone, And Everything Is A Gift Given For Me And For All Of Us. If You Don't Love It, Question Your Mind Until You Do.

We Never Make A Decision. When The Time Is Right, The Decision Makes Itself.

If You Question Your Thoughts About When Your Son Is Not Healthy, You Come To See That You're The Only One You're Worried About. It's Like Without Him, You're Not Happy - So It's All About Your Happiness. You Want Him To Live For You - For Your Happiness.

That's What I Love About Integrity. Each Time We Go Inside, That's Where It Is.

Arguing With Reality It Like Trying To Teach A Cat To Bark.

Trauma Is Nothing More Than Being Stuck In What You Believe.

God, As I Use The Word, Is Another Name For What Is. I Always Know God's Intention: It's Exactly What Is In Every Moment.

Depression, Pain, And Fear Are Gifts That Say, "sweetheart, Take A Look At Your Thinking In This Moment. You're Living In A Story That Isn't True For You." Living A Lie Is Always Stressful. And Investigating A Lie Through The Work Always Leads You Back To Who You Are. Who You Are Is Not An Option. You Are Love. It Hurts To Believe You're Other Than Who You Are, To Live Any Story Less Than Love.

Fear Is Blind. There Are Some Options In It, But They're Very Limited As Compared To The Options Available To The Fearless Mind.

I Realized That It's Insane To Oppose It. When I Argue With Reality, I Lose-but Only 100% Of The Time. How Do I Know That The Wind Should Blow? It's Blowing!

If You Put Your Hand Into A Fire, Does Anyone Have To Tell You To Move It? Do You Have To Decide? No: When Your Hand Starts To Burn, It Moves. You Don’t Have To Direct It; The Hand Moves Itself. In The Same Way, Once You Understand, Through Inquiry, That An Untrue Thought Causes Suffering, You Move Away From It.

The Opening To Reality, As It Really Is, Is Beauty.

One Morning As I Lay Sleeping On The Floor, A Cockroach Crawled Over My Foot. And I Opened My Eyes Out Of This Dead Sleep - About A 43-year Sleep - And In Place Of All That Darkness Was A Joy That I Can't Describe.

If I Want Something, I Go Get It. Anything That I Believe Will Stop Me, I Question.

When We Stop Opposing Reality, Action Becomes Simple, Fluid, Kind, And Fearless.

The Only And Dearest Relationship Is The Mind's Relationship With Itself.

It's Not The Darkness That People Fear; It's What They Imagine Into The Darkness.

We All Think We Have Our Personal Favorites. But When I Say, "people Shouldn't Steal - Is It True?" Everyone In A Room Of, Let's Say, A Thousand People All Raise Their Hands And Say, "that's True."

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.

Stress Is An Alarm Clock That Lets You Know You're Attached To Something Not True For You.

Lack Of Understanding Is Always Painful.

Our Job Is Unconditional Love. The Job Of Everyone Else In Our Life Is To Push Our Buttons.

I Like To Say It Was Born Out Of Laughter.

When You Stay Present With Your Children, That’s Where Abundance Is. And When You Stay Out Of Their Business, That’s Where Everything You Deserve In Life Is. When You’re In Presence, There’s No Story, And You Are Abundance. And You Come To Trust That Space So Often That You Just Eventually Hang Out As That, Because There Is Nothing That Can Move You Out Of It, Not Even A Perceived Child Or A Perceived Anything.

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.

Until You Look Forward To All Criticism, Your Work's Not Done.

When We Believe In Our Thoughts, When We Tell Ourselves A Story, We Suffer. 'my Husband Doesn't Respect Me.' 'i Should Be Thinner.' Those Are Stories. When There's No Story, There's No Suffering.

You Cannot Hurt Me. Only I Can Do That.

I Am A Lover Of What Is, Not Because I'm A Spiritual Person, But Because It Hurts When I Argue With Reality. We Can Know That Reality Is Good Just As It Is, Because When We Argue With It, We Experience Tension And Frustration. We Don't Feel Natural Or Balanced. When We Stop Opposing Reality, Action Becomes Simple, Fluid, Kind, And Fearless.

Sadness Isn't A Natural Response.

Money Is Not My Business; My Thinking Is My Business. I Don't Have Any Other Business.

I'm Not In Iraq. I'm Here In California. Have I Had An Argument With My Husband Today? Have I Been At War With Someone In My Life Today - Or With Myself? Let Me Work On That. That Way War Is Ending Somewhere In The World.

Nothing Outside You Can Ever Give You What You're Looking For.

When You Question What You Believe, You Leave The World, Really, And What The World Believes. It Puts You In A Very Interesting Position.

The World Is Perfect. As You Question Your Mind, This Becomes More And More Obvious.

Everyone Is A Mirror Image Of Yourself-your Own Thinking Coming Back To You.

If You Realized How Beautiful You Are, You Would Fall At Your Own Feet.

The Ability To Understand The Cause Of Your Own Suffering Gives You The Ability To Understand Ours.

We Don't Attach To People Or To Things; We Attach To Uninvestigated Concepts That We Believe To Be True In The Moment.

The Teacher You Need Is The Person You're Living With.

They Say, "katie, You're Wrong." And If I Say, "how Dare You Say That? I Have Studied And Studied." Or, "i Am An Expert In" Whatever Area We're Talking About. Or, "no, You Are Wrong! And I Think You're Rude!" Or Anything Like That, And If We Don't Say It Out Loud, Maybe We Think It, But That's Stressful. The Moment I've Defended, In Any Way, I've Started The War.

If Your Beliefs Are Stressful And You Question Them, You Come To See That They Aren't True - Whereas Prior To Questioning, You Absolutely Believe Them. How Can You Live In Joy When You're Believing Thoughts That Bring On Sadness, Frustration, Anger, Alienation, And Loneliness?

I Can Find Only Three Kinds Of Business In The Universe: Mine, Yours And God's. Much Of Our Stress Comes From Mentally Living Out Of Our Business. When I Think, "you Need To Get A Job, I Want You To Be Happy, You Should Be On Time, You Need To Take Better Care Of Yourself," I Am In Your Business. When I'm Worried About Earthquakes, Floods, War, Or When I Will Die, I Am In God's Business. If I Am Mentally In Your Business Or In God's Business, The Effect Is Separation.

Never Be Fooled Into Believing That There Is One Speck Out Of Order.

It's Not Easy To Find Your Own Way When You Believe That You Need Love, Approval, Appreciation, Or Anything From Your Family. It's Particularly Hard When You Want Them To See Things Your Way.

I Can't Love You As You Have Been Or Will Be. I Can Only Love You As You Are.

When You’re Focused Outside And Believe That Your Problem Is Caused By Someone Else, Rather Than By Your Attachment To The Story You’re Believing In The Moment, Then You Are Your Own Victim, And The Situation Appears To Be Hopeless.

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.

I Am A Lover Of What Is, Not Because I'm A Spiritual Person, But Because It Hurts When I Argue With Reality.

For Me, If Somebody Tells Me To Go Away, That Is An Opportunity For Me To Give Them A Better Life. And That's An Opportunity For Me To Know And Realize Where Not To Be. It's An Opportunity For Me To See What Could Be Better Than Being With That Person I Love.

When You Discover That All Happiness Is Inside You, The Wanting And Needing Are Over, And Life Gets Very Exciting.

When Safety Is Our Priority, We Live Our Lives Being Very, Very Careful, And We Wind Up Having No Lives

To Understand Our Own Thinking Is To Understand All Thinking.

If You Are An Enemy To Your Own Mind, Other People Have To Become Enemies Too, Sooner Or Later. Until You Understand, Until You Can Love The Thoughts That Appear In Your Mind, Then You Can Love The Rest Of Us. You Work With The Projector -the Mind - Not The Projected World. I Can't Really Love You Until I Question The Mind That Thinks It Sees You Outside Itself . . .

What We Believe, We See.

The World Is A Projection Of Our Thoughts - The Thoughts We Believe.

Every Moment A Gift: Are You Unwrapping Yours Now, And Now, And Now?

Just Because We Love Someone, We Begin To Notice That Love Is An Experience And We Have To Do Something With It. We Don't Have To Marry People Or Date Them Because We Care About Them Very Deeply. It's An Experience.

When A Thought Hurts, That’s The Signal That It Isn’t True.

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.

Behold Your World! The Judgments You Believe Just Created It.

'i Don't Know' Is My Favorite Position.

If You Knew How Important You Are, You Would Fragment Into A Billion Pieces And Just Be Light.

I Came To See That There Was Nothing To Forgive, That I Was The One Who Caused My Own Problems.

There Is No Mistake In Nature.

When You Believe That Your Problem Is Caused By Someone Or Something Else, You Become Your Own Victim.

The Work Reveals That What You Think Shouldn't Have Happened Should Have Happened. It Should Happened Because It Did, And No Thinking In The World Can Change It. This Doesn't Mean That You Condone It Or Approve Of It. It Just Means That You Can See Things Without Resistance And Without The Confusion Of Your Inner Struggle. No One Wants Their Children To Get Sick, No One Wants To Be In A Car Accident; But When These Things Happen, How Can It Be Helpful To Mentally Argue With Them? We Know Better Than To Do That, Yet We Do It, Because We Don't Know How To Stop.

Everything That Happens Is God's Will. When You Realize That, You're Home Free.

My Experience Is That The Teachers We Need Most Are The People We're Living With Right Now.

A Thought Is Harmless Unless We Believe It.

There's No Way That A Clear Mind Can Live An Unhappy Life.

I Am Never Unhappy, You Can Achieve That As Well.

Place Only Your Kindest Thoughts On Everything You Experience Today. Meet Yourself.

Insanity Is Arguing With Reality.

It's A Wonderful World When You Have What You Want At All Times.

Being Present Means Living Without Control And Always Having Your Needs Met.

Live In The Moment

Until We Question Our Stressful Thoughts, We Remain Victims Of The Images In Our Head.

The Only Time We Suffer Is When We Believe A Thought That Argues With What Is. When The Mind Is Perfectly Clear, What Is Is What We Want.

It's Not A Little Thing To Lose Your Identification And Who You Believe Yourself To Be.

So, How Can We Live In Joy - And How Can We Know That We're Supposed To Live In Joy The Way People Tell Us To - When We're Believing Thoughts That Bring On Sadness And Frustration And Anger And Alienation And Loneliness? When We're Believing Those Thoughts, We Think That's The World, Rather Than What We're Believing About The World. We're Like Lost Little Children.

Your Understanding Of Another Person Is Limited By What You Think You Already Know. So When You Just Listen, The Person You Meet Won't Match Your Preconception. The Exciting Thing Is That You Usually Meet Someone Much Wiser And Kinder Than You Expected. You Might Also Lose Track Of Your Ideas About Who You Are.

Any Thought Of Discomfort Or Stress Is An Alarm That Lets You Know You're Believing An Untrue Thought

Freedom Is Our Birthright.

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.

Thoughts Are Just What Is. They Appear. They're Innocent. They're Not Personal.

Once The Mind Is Met With Understanding, It Can Always Find Its Way Home.

No-one Can Disappoint You, Only Your Thoughts About Them Can

Seeking Love Keeps You From The Awareness That You Already Have It—that You Are It.

Love Is Action. It's Clear, It's Kind, It's Effortless, And It's Irresistible.

A Dishonest Yes Is A No To Yourself.

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.

If Our Thinking Is Clear, How Could Work Or Money Be The Problem? Our Thinking Is All We Need To Change.

People Who Believe Their Unquestioned Thoughts Cannot See What Is Obvious And Directly In Front Of Their Faces At All Times, Because They Are Invested In What They Believe To Be True. As Long As They Live Out Of An Unquestioned Mind, They Must Continue To Argue With What They Believe Is Happening Rather Than The Reality Of What Is Really Happening.

Happiness Is A Clear Mind. A Clear And Sane Mind Knows How To Live, How To Work, What Emails To Send, What Phone Calls To Make, And What To Do Do To Create What It Wants Without Fear.

Self-realization Is Not Complete Until It Lives In Action.

If You Argue Against Reality You Will Suffer.

The More You Reveal, The More You Have To Question And The Freer You Get. Until, Finally, You're Absolutely Exposed. And That Leaves You In A Fearless Position, Because You Can Work In The World Without The Fear Of Being Found Out. That Is Freedom.

My Life Is A Contribution.

All I Have Is All I Need And All I Need Is All I Have In This Moment.

Those Questions - When You Think About A Thought, When You're Believing A Thought Or Concept And You Question It - You Realize That It Changes Things. Every Cell In Your Body Is Awake With Inquiry.

When You Act Like A Teacher, It's Usually Because You're Afraid To Be The Student.

When You Run In Fear, It's Square Into The Wall.

When You Become A Lover Of What Is, The War Is Over.

I Am Entirely Motivated Without Anger. The Truth Sets Us Free, And Freedom Acts.

An Unquestioned Mind Is The World Of Suffering.

Nothing Comes Ahead Of Its Time, And Nothing Ever Happened That Didn't Need To Happen.

It Doesn´t Come Later. Everything You´re Supposed To Do Is Here Right Now.

I Didn't Fight Or Shame My Thoughts, I Questioned Them, And They Stopped Shaming Me.

I Think Our Children Are Afraid To Die Because We're Afraid To Die.

Until You Can Love What Is - Everything, Including The Apparent Violence And Craziness - You're Separate From The World, And You'll See It As Dangerous And Frightening.

This Is The Time. This Is The Place. This Is The Vastness. Right Here Is Paradise. Always. Always.

As Far As Intellect, What Else Is There? Without Intellect, No Story And No World.

So There's Only Transcendence In The Moment. Nobody Can Be Transcended Forever. That's Why I Say, "who Cares If You're Enlightened Forever?"

To Argue With Reality Is To Argue With God

How Do You React When You Think You Need People's Love? Do You Become A Slave For Their Approval?

All The Advice You Ever Gave Your Partner Is For You To Hear

Thought The Mind Can Justify Itself Faster Than The Speed Of Light, It Can Be Stopped Through The Act Of Writing.

What You’re Believing In The Moment Creates Your Suffering Or Your Happiness.

If Someone Says, "katie, You Are Out Of Order," Over Something I've Said, Or, "katie, You Are Wrong," If I Defend Myself Or Justify Myself, Then I Have Just Started The War.

Thinking That People Are Supposed To Do Or Be Anything Other Than What They Are Is Like Saying That The Tree Over There Should Be The Sky. I Investigated That And Found Freedom.

When The Creative Mind Is Unleashed And Understands Its True Nature, It's Unlimited. There's Nothing You Cannot Do.

Maybe Everything We've Ever Done Has Been For Love.

It's Just A Constant Thing When The Mind Starts To Wake Up To Itself.

I Can Find Only Three Kinds Of Business In The Universe: Mine, Yours, And God's.

You Can’t Have Your Daughter As Long As You Have A Concept Of Her. When You Get Rid Of The Concept, You Meet Your Daughter For The First Time. That’s The Way This Works.

Every (stressful Thought) Is A Variation On A Single Theme: This Shouldn't Be Happening. I Shouldn't Be Having This Experience. God Is Unjust. Life Isn't Fair.

I Have Had The Privilege Of Losing Everything.

Losing Everything

Who Would You Be Without The Thought That Happiness Depends On Someone Else?

Who I Believed Myself To Be Was A Hopeless Case. I Would Wake Up In The Mornings And Notice I Was Still Alive And Breathing And Hate God, Hate Myself, Hate Life, And Contemplate Ways Of Killing Myself.

When Your Son Is Healthy And Happy, You're Healthy And Happy. And When Your Son Is Not Healthy, Let's Say You're Unhappy.

The Mind's Job Is To Validate What It Thinks.

You Are Your Only Hope, Because We're Not Changing Until You Do. Our Job Is To Keep Coming At You, As Hard As We Can, With Everything That Angers, Upsets, Or Repulses You, Until You Understand. We Love You That Much, Whether We're Aware Of It Or Not. The Whole World Is About You.

Everyone Has Equal Wisdom. It Is Absolutely Equally Distributed. No One Is Wiser Than Anyone Else.

The End Of Suffering Happens In This Very Moment, Whether You're Watching A Terrorist Attack Or Doing The Dishes. And Compassion Begins At Home. Because I Don't Believe My Thoughts, Sadness Can't Exist. That's How I Can Go To The Depths Of Anyone's Suffering, If They Invite Me, And Take Them By The Hand And Walk Them Out Of It Into The Sunlight Of Reality. I've Taken That Walk Myself.

Life Is Simple. Everything Happens For You, Not To You.

For Me, Everything Is God. Everything And Everyone. So It Was Just, God Needs Me Now, Now, Now.

When You Srgue With Reality, You Lose, But Only 100% Of The Time.

Life Is The Constant Opportunity To Wake Up.

You Move Totally Away From Reality When You Believe That There Is A Legitimate Reason To Suffer".
