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.

More quotes by Hugh Prather
Because the results are unpredictable, no effort of mine is doomed to failure.
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
We feel understood by people who like us misunderstood by people who don't -- and those feelings are probably realistic.
Hugh Prather
We become what we look at most.
Hugh Prather

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
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

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.
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
Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.
Hugh Prather
My trouble is I analyze life instead of live it.
Hugh Prather
When I have listened to my mistakes, I have grown.
Hugh Prather
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
There is nothing more painful than walking around with bitterness in your heart.
Hugh Prather
Whenever we condemn, we cloak the world in pain.
Hugh Prather
No matter what we talk about, we are talking about ourselves
