163 Quotes by 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.

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.

I am responsible for what I see. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. I could see peace instead of THIS. The past is over it can touch me not. This instant is the only time there is. Today I will judge nothing that occurs. I am not the victim of the world I see. I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts. I am determined to see things differently. I am never upset for the reason I think. Forgiveness is the key to happiness. All that I give I give to myself.

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.

There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.

It's this simple: If I never try anything, I never learn anything. If I never take a risk, I stay where I am.

Letting go is freedom. When you find yourself in a useless battle, you merely walk off the battlefield.

Happiness is a present attitude and not a future condition.

A whole mind cannot create chaos. A conflicted mind can create nothing else.
