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 you word in the direction of truth and love.
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.
Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and 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.
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-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.
-Don Miguel Ruiz
This is one of those books that always comes up when challenging times come up, have you read The Four Agreements? I borrowed a copy and the other day knew how important it was to own for myself. I read the book with a highlighter and try to really focus within on the things I need to change and relate it to situations in my life. It takes the weight off and at the same time holds you responsible for your interactions in everyday life. When you are being given all of this knowledge, and are really opening yourself up to why you truly got to where you are today, it is your responsibility to not dismiss the blessings of such a gift. I am not any different than the next person, we all have this ability and receive these gifts everyday. This is just something that is easier to shut off then it is to look at and realize that you owe it to yourself, you owe it to the reason you are here in the first place. It is easy to get caught up in everyday life and go thru the motions, but it takes practice and work to hold yourself accountable.
