Over the past few months, the concepts of’stripping back the’superfluous,’simplifying and pulling apart the true meaning of integrity have been’strong personal themes. For many people, there’s a drive to again inspect old patterns that continue to run happily in the background despite years of’self-examination. Perhaps under the direction of a new global energy, there’s a’sense of being able to lovingly let go of those things that have’served us all well on one level, yet have offered excuses to’stay’small on another.
I came across Don Miguel Ruiz ”The Four Agreements” the other day and it’strongly resonated with this desire to pare back; to’simplify; to become more real as a participant in this world and begin operating in a more authentic way.
With these 4’simple tenets, we could literally change the way we as humans operate in this world. How do they resonate with you? Please feel free to’share your thoughts, we’d love to hear from you.
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
