~ by Tera Warner
If you’ve ever felt too fat, too poor, too tired, too busy, too beaten down, shaken up or tossed inside out, then you know suffering. You may have noticed that when you tried to blame your bank account balance, your ex-boyfriend or the size of your thighs, things didn’t really change much.
And if, in spite of all your kind thoughts and good deeds and the very best of intentions you still find yourself suffering from time to time, then lend an ear, pull out your pen and paper and get ready to do the work.
During this interview, Byron Katie will invite you to take a look around, then take a look within and answer a few simple questions that will unlock you from your suffering so you can finally start loving what is.
Katie shares some of her personal journey and how she got to where she is as well as a few more inspirational nuggets of wisdom:
- What’s the difference between “Loving What Is” and “Settling For What You Have”?
- What if we want to change, improve our conditions in life?
- Isn’t it natural for us to feel frustration, stress, pressure as we choose to grow, change and improve things?
- To what degree does the need to have the approval of others, hold women back in life?
- How does our need to be “right” keep us from hearing the other side of the story?
- What are the “signs” we can watch for that assure we ARE loving what is?
- What does the world look, taste, feel like to someone who is always at peace with what is?
