On This Day In Women’s History:

October 11, 1884: Eleanor Roosevelt was born.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a civil rights advocate, feminist, author, world diplomat, and former First Lady (1933-45).

Byron Katie: A Remarkable Transformation at 43

Byron Kathleen Mitchell, known as Byron Katie, is a renowned motivational speaker and author famous for her groundbreaking self-help method, "The Work."

Her story is remarkable because of the incredible transformation she underwent at the age of 43, which continues to inspire people worldwide.

Born in 1942 in Texas, Byron Katie faced numerous challenges in her early adulthood, including depression, agoraphobia, addiction, and even homelessness.

However, at the age of 43 in 1986, Byron Katie had a profound awakening. During this moment, she discovered the power of questioning her own thoughts and beliefs, realizing that much of her suffering came from unexamined thoughts.

She developed "The Work", a method comprising four transformative questions to challenge stressful thoughts:

Is it true?

Can you absolutely know that it's true?

How do you react when you believe that thought?

Who would you be without that thought?

What makes Byron Katie's story even more inspiring is that she embarked on this transformative journey at the age of 43, demonstrating that profound change and personal growth can happen at any stage in life.
