Okay, Knowflakes, you all have a homework assignment and there will be a pop quiz in a few weeks! Everyone, please read the book "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book is awesome and I really feel that everyone can benefit from it! Someone else had recently created a thread about this book but I went back 3 pages and I am so sorry but I cannot find it! If anyone can find it please *bump* it! Thanks. Anyhow, here is some info. about "The Four Agreements" to get you started. 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. 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. 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. 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. Don Miguel Ruiz has an awesome website, full of information about all of his books, including videos and DVD clips! Please click here to learn more! Thank you! Please Click Here IP: Logged |

Nephtys, pop quiz My personal favorite for our forum life in Lindaland: 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. Thanks for the links YFIS. I loved reviewing the dinosaur days of Lindaland and they brought back so many fond memories of much loved Knowflakes ------------------ ~ What we do for ourselves dies with us.

Denise, you must have spent a lot of time searching this topic and sifting through the forums lists b/c the search function is not available. I knew you would find it! LOL For those who have read it, they will probably do well on the pop quiz. Juni, This one is my favorite too What others say and do is a projection of their own reality So true. IP: Logged |
