The four agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz
Judgement and bitterness go hand in hand, judgement and anger go hand in hand also ...
it seems that the best tool to hold onto our point and be right, is to judge - we have
no right to take anyones inventory other than our own. When we are judging however, the
universal magnet will bring it back to be confronted repeatedly until we learn to let go
AND let God ( whoever or whatever you know God to be.
I have a terribly troubled time not taking inventory for those who sit in judgment,
I love this book by Don Miguel Ruiz and it has supported me to be a much more open minded,
open spirited woman - I hope that anyone who resonates with what I have written will find
it valuable and "opening" to them as well.
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.
