The fatal mistake is waiting for life's circumstances to be right before we begin. Simply begin with your heart, look deeply into it and trust what you feel. Practice knowing and you will know.

Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
Hugh Prather
Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues.
Hugh Prather
Today I don't want to live for, I want to live.
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
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
'Fault' means failure to meet a standard. Whose? Mine.
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.
Hugh Prather
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.
Hugh Prather
An argument is always about what has been made more important than the relationship.
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.

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
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
I'd rather be happy than right.
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
A whole mind cannot create chaos. A conflicted mind can create nothing else.
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
Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.
Hugh Prather
When we persist in looking for and finding what there is to value within our self, we discover a pure and loving being.
Hugh Prather
There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.
Hugh Prather
Next time I will ... From now on I will ... - What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?
