The choice to experience life as a genuinely powerful person librates a huge amount of creative energy, and most people are unwilling to enjoy that amount of energy.

Willingness to learn from each moment--as opposed to defending ourselves by stonewalling, explaining, justifying, withdrawing, blaming--is much more important than IQ, family background or education. The great advantage of openness-to-learning is that you're in charge of it at all times. You can choose to shift out of defensiveness into genuine curiosity at any moment.

We don’t attach to people or to things; we attach to uninvestigated concepts that we believe to be true in the moment.
~ Byron Katie Quotes from Loving What Is
-
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation—from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
~ Byron Katie Quotes from Loving What Is
-
The Work is merely four questions; it’s not even a thing. It has no motive, no strings. It’s nothing without your answers. These four questions will join any program you’ve got ad enhance it. Any religion you have—they’ll enhance it. If you have no religion, they will bring you joy. And they’ll burn up anything that isn’t true for you. They’ll burn through to the reality that has always been waiting.
~ Byron Katie Quotes from Loving What Is
-
The 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 Katie Quotes from Loving What Is

If you want reality to be different than what it is, you might as well try to teach a cat to bark.
~ Byron Katie Quotes from Loving What Is
-
I realized that it’s insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose—but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It’s blowing!
~ Byron Katie Quotes from Loving What Is

The Work reveals that what you think shouldn’t have happened should have happened. It should happened because it did, and no thinking in the world can change it. This doesn’t mean that you condone it or approve of it. It just means that you can see things without resistance and without the confusion of your inner struggle. No one wants their children to get sick, no one wants to be in a car accident; but when these things happen, how can it be helpful to mentally argue with them? We know better than to do that, yet we do it, because we don’t know how to stop.
~ Byron Katie Quotes from Loving What Is

When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.
