If you're familiar with Byron Katie and her Work, you know that she's one tough, yet supremely loving, woman. Her Work is based on four questions...just four. How easy is that? Ah, ha, ha...you have NO idea! Katie's mission is to teach each one of us how to end our own suffering. No small task!
The Work can be applied to any thought that causes you anger, fear, sadness, or frustration - any thought that keeps you from living in peace. With that thought in mind, ask yourself these four questions:
1. Is it true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it's true?
3. How do you react when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without the thought?
Sounds simple, eh? Let's watch a good example of The Work in action:
