BYRON KATIEUntil you can see everything in the world as your friend, your work is not done.
BYRON KATIEHow do I know it was meant to happen this way? Because it did.
BYRON KATIEIt’s not your job to like me – it’s mine.
BYRON KATIEWho would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?
BYRON KATIEA thought is harmless unless we believe it.
BYRON KATIENothing 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.
BYRON KATIEThe mind’s job is to validate what it thinks.
BYRON KATIEWe 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.
BYRON KATIEThe pain shows you what’s left to investigate.
BYRON KATIEThe person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
BYRON KATIEIf I had a prayer, it would be this: “God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen.”

BYRON KATIEThe 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.
BYRON KATIENothing comes ahead of its time, and nothing ever happened that didn’t need to happen.
BYRON KATIEThinking that what you want equals what’s best for you is a dead end.
BYRON KATIEWe’re all looking for love, in our confusion, until we find our way back to the realization that love is what we already are.
