I love what I think, and I'm never tempted to believe it. Thoughts are like the wind or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They're not personal, they don't belong to us, they just come and go. When they're met with understanding, they're friends.
Byron KatieIt's quite an amazing experience to see the same life with and without the thought. We come to see how crazy a thought can make us when we believe it.
Byron KatieFear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.
Byron KatieDepression, 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.
