I received an interesting email from a man in my life for whom I have a lot of respect; it contained four agreements, as written by Don Miguel Ruiz; human musings on achieving personal freedom...
agreement
1
Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using
the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of
your word in the direction of truth and love.
agreement
2
Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and
do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune
to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless
suffering.
agreement
3
Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage
to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others
as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just
this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
agreement
4
Always do your best - Your best is
going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are
healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and
you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
Thanks Dad!
Until the next time...
