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.

BYRON KATIEIf you don’t like your world, question your thoughts about it.
BYRON KATIEAny 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.
BYRON KATIEI 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 KATIEThe 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.
BYRON KATIENothing comes ahead of its time, and nothing ever happened that didn’t need to happen.
BYRON KATIEWhen we’re not defending and justifying, and we’re being very still, our answers can and do shock us.
BYRON KATIEThe pain shows you what’s left to investigate.
BYRON KATIEYou’re never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.
BYRON KATIEIt’s not what happens in life that bothers us. It’s what we’re believing about it that bothers us.
BYRON KATIEWhen we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. The world is exactly as it should be.
BYRON KATIEYou don’t experience anxiety unless you’re attached to a thought that isn’t true for you. It’s that simple.
BYRON KATIEThe ego is terrified of the truth. And the truth is that the ego doesn’t exist.
BYRON KATIEWe are never really in control. We just think we are when things happen to be going our way.
BYRON KATIEThere’s no nightmare you can’t wake yourself up from.
BYRON KATIEThe world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.
