Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
Hugh Prather
Image
All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.

Many books on communication are strong on theory but impractical on application. Marshall Rosenberg's instant classic is the stand-out exception. It is clear and compelling in its logic and flat-out inspiring in its inviting exposition of usable techniques and strategies. If this book is read by enough people, the world will transform.

I can't be found in myself I discover myself in others. That much is clear. And I suspect that I also love and care for myself in others.
Hugh Prather
Image
What an absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life trying to find out how things 'really are', when all the time they weren't.
Hugh Prather
Image
My trouble is I analyze life instead of live it.
Hugh Prather

'Fault' means failure to meet a standard. Whose? Mine.
Hugh Prather

One element of maturity is the realization that we don't get away with anything. Any advantage gained or convenience taken, any private procrastination or insincerity, no matter how subtle or quick in passing, is paid for.
Hugh Prather
Image
Boredom or discontent is useful to me when I acknowledge it and see clearly my assumption that there's something else I would rather be doing. In this way boredom can act as an invitation to freedom by opening me to new options and thoughts. For example, if I can't change the activity, can I look at it more honestly?

It's not that today is the first day of the rest of my life, but that now is all there is of my life.
