More quotes by Hugh Prather
There are only three things you need to let go of judging, controlling, and being right. Release these three and you will have the whole mind and twinkly heart of a child.
Hugh Prather
Moods should be heard but never danced to.
Hugh Prather
Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes and I am left the same. The more things change the more I am the same. I am what I started with, and when it is all over I will be all that is left of me.
Hugh Prather
Don't strive for love, be it.
Hugh Prather
There is nothing more painful than walking around with bitterness in your heart.
Hugh Prather
Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.
Hugh Prather
Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now.
Hugh Prather
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?

When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don't want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel I don't want to exist to like you. I DON'T exist to like you.

If a man takes off his sunglasses I can hear him better.

Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.

perfectionism is a slow death. if everything were to turn out just like i would want it to, just like i would plan for it to, then i would never experience anything new my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. when i make a mistake i experience something unexpected.... when i have listened to my mistakes i have grown.

Books seek us out. They slip themselves into our hands just at the time we are ready for a new self-concept.
Hugh Prather
When we recognize that nothing has to go right for us to be happy, that people do not have to behave for us to love them, our walk home can be surprisingly simple. We have enormous power not to manipulate the world, but to be happy and to know peace.
Hugh Prather
Don't fight a fact, deal with it.
Hugh Prather
We are all saying the same thing in different words.
Hugh Prather
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
My trouble is I analyze life instead of live it.
Hugh Prather
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.
Hugh Prather
True humor is fun - it does not put down, kid, or mock. It makes people feel wonderful, not separate, different, and cut off. True humor has beneath it the understanding that we are all in this together.
