More quotes by 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.

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 my attention is wandering, there is somewhere it wants to go, so obviously it does not want to be where I am holding it in the name of some self-styled obligation.
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
Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.
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 become what we look at most.
Hugh Prather
If I work toward an end, meantime I am confined to a process.
Hugh Prather
