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.
Byron KatieThe Work is four questions and a turnaround. The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is a very, very simple process. It's for anyone who can answer a question that is willing to. It takes a bit of willingness and an open mind.
Byron KatieI'm the one who changes the world if I can follow what I think should and shouldn't be lived in this world.
Byron KatieIf 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.
