A thought is harmless unless we believe it. Itโs not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that itโs true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that weโve been attaching to, often for years.
Byron KatieWho 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.
Byron KatieI stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.
