Who would you be without the story that anyone should care about you, ever?


“Who would you be in people’s presence without, for example, the story that anyone should care about you, ever? You would be love itself. When you believe the myth that people should care, you’re too needy to care about people or about yourself. The experience of love can’t come from anyone else; it can come only from inside you.”

- Byron Katie, A Thousand Names For Joy,  CH 26
