After having an excellent second Friday 13th in a row, how else as I was following Ivana’s Survival Manual for Friday 13th. I have decided to share with you what has touched me within a blog entry break. Someone, who had courage to quit his job and with support of his second wife, has dedicated upcoming two years to break through with his work. His patience has been rewarded and gave joy to million around the globe.
THANK YOU, HUGH PRATHER!
Notes to Myself, a tiny book, which was able to move me, by another step further, on my thousands miles long journey called life. Main ideas are as usually, handwritten and captured in one of my diaries. Sharing gratitude and admiration for Hugh’s book is the least what I can do, to give tribute to an authentic human being, sharing his gifts with the world as Hugh is.
Let me drop down for you the most powerful lines from this masterpiece. I am warning you, they are spooky true and will make you think. So, are you ready to face the truth and look into mirror? I am sure you are, otherwise you would not reach this blog, you would not reach this paragraph either.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen: “Let me present Hugh Prather’s Notes to Myself!”
…My anxiety doesn’t come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it…
...My only habit should be to have none…
…Time is change, therefore I have more time per- clock when I am flexible…
…When I have listened to my mistakes I have grown…
…Guilt is a guide that will lead me whenever I will choose to follow…
…There are no absolutes for something so relative as human life. There are no rules for something as gentle as human heart…
…Dishonest people believe rather in words than in love…
…Accept happiness as present attitude not a future condition…
…Forgiveness is the willingness to begin. Guilt is the love of staying stuck…
…Generosity feels at least as rewarding as greed…
…Learning to respond to now is the only thing there is to learn…
…I have a choice to be right or to be a human...
…No one is wrong. At most someone is uniformed. “You are wrong” means I don’t understand you. I am not seeing what you are seeing...
…As long as I am hated I make difference…
…When I say “You should” I avoid committing myself…
…An argument is always about what has been made more important than the relationship…
…By giving what I want I realize that I have what I thought I lacked before…
…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…
…Being real is more a process of letting go than it is effort of becoming. I already am what I am…
Hmm, how do you feel? Any changes, faster heart beat maybe? Busy thoughts running through your head? Did you allow yourself to let go?
Tell me about it.
Certainly each of the above mentioned quotes could be the topic for separate blog itself. It is up to you which one will stick into your heart the most, it is up to you which you will manifest in your day to day life. Let’s make it simple and just send the message forward by being true example.
I trust you have enjoyed part of your journey, which you have spent by reading this article.
Peace and loads of love.
