Next time I will ... From now on I will ... - What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?
Hugh Prather
It is your right to be happy. This is what you were made for. And if you will not resist, happiness will find a way to pour from your heart and fill your days.
Hugh Prather
A whole mind cannot create chaos. A conflicted mind can create nothing else.

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.
Hugh Prather
There is nothing more painful than walking around with bitterness in your heart.
Hugh Prather
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.

Hugh Prather
There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.
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
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
If a man takes off his sunglasses I can hear him better.
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
An argument is always about what has been made more important than the relationship.
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
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
You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. You are only young once, then you need another reason to act foolish. You are the only authority on what is best for you.
