I just finished reading a wonderfully inspiring book and I thought I'd share it's message with you. Hopefully, it'll motivate you, as it did me. The book is called "The Four Agreements" and is written by Don Miguel Ruiz. Here are the four agreements, encapsulated in short form, summarizing the message of the book. As you read these four agreements, why not take stock of your own thoughts, and see how this message could possible lead you in a positive direction.
"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 with 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-judgment, self-abuse, and regret."
As you consider these agreements and how they could fit into your life, focus on the Now of the present moment, and how this wonderful gift can light up your life, as well as those around you. And have a perfect day!
Cheers,
Gareth Marples
