Theses wise words came to mind today and thought well worth sharing. (again) THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
by Don Miguel Ruiz * 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. * 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 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. * Always do your Best * Your best is going to change from moment to monent; it will be different when you are as healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret. A wise man who also wrote "The Mastery of Love"

Read it, so here is your What a great little book. When I first got it, I read the whole thing that day, and then I kept it in my car for about a year, and every time I would have to wait in line, or in a waiting room, I'de read it over again, it never gets old. IP: Logged |

I love his works. When I put the books down, I have a sense of peace and purpose. I have to refer to the agreements from time to time for that little reminder. ------------------ ~The Earth Laughs In Flowers~ ... Emerson IP: Logged |

Thanks for the reminder Juni, Hopefully one day they will become noble habits. ------------------ “It’s an interesting thing. Seeing Kuan Yin relating to a flower so intently. She's not just looking at it; she's interacting with it…I’m seeing how the act of relating to a flower appears to be so simple. Yet, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to make such a “simple” act important. Now, the lotus is floating away.” IP: Logged |
