More quotes by Hugh Prather
Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues.
Hugh Prather
Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble.
Hugh Prather
Boredom is useful to me when I notice it and think: Oh I'm bored there must be something else I want to be doing... boredom acts as an initiator of originality by pushing me into new activities or new thoughts.
Hugh Prather
Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
Hugh Prather
Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.
Hugh Prather
A whole mind cannot create chaos. A conflicted mind can create nothing else.
Hugh Prather
Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.
Hugh Prather
Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now.
Hugh Prather
Because the results are unpredictable, no effort of mine is doomed to failure.
Hugh Prather
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.
Hugh Prather
Books seek us out. They slip themselves into our hands just at the time we are ready for a new self-concept.
Hugh Prather
We are all saying the same thing in different words.
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
If your reaction to your partner's fear-or any other form of distress- is disdain or irritation, you do not want oneness or even friendship with your partner at that moment.
Hugh Prather
Being myself includes taking risks with myself, taking risks on new behavior, trying new ways of 'being myself', so that I can see who it is I want to be.
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
If I work toward an end, meantime I am confined to a process.
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
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
Sometimes when I generalize, I am saying, 'Let's pretend I am God,' and of course the other person argues that point endlessly. But I notice that if the other person takes a stand for himself and states his thoughts as his thoughts, I pay more attention to what he is saying and look deeper in myself.
