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?

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
Stands must be taken. If I am to respect myself I have to search myself for what I believe is right and take a stand on what I find. Otherwise, I have not gathered together what I have been given I have not embraced what I have learned I lack my own conviction.
Hugh Prather
Next time I will ... From now on I will ... - What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?
Hugh Prather
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.
Hugh Prather
If a man takes off his sunglasses I can hear him better.
