“I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: Mine, yours, and God’s. … Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our own business. When I think, ‘You need to get a job, I want you to be happy, you should be on time, you need to take better care of yourself,’ I am in your business. When I’m worried about earthquakes, floods, war, or when I will die, I am in God’s business. …

“To think that I know what’s best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what’s right for myself? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve your problems for you. … And if you practice it for a while, you may come to see that you don’t have any business either and that your life runs perfectly well on its own.”

– Byron Katie, Loving What Is
