Checking In :
I have changed the way I look at things. Years ago, I started to adjust the way I approached things that happened to me each day. The main difference was not to engage my assumptions in any situation. This is a great challenges task, much like surfing, skiing, playing a musical instrument, or any other activity you can think of. You can master it. Embrace every moment's lesson, this may help. The Four Agreements By Don Miguel Ruiz is a very good book. I enjoyed it, I put it into action each day. Some information is listed below. Investing in yourself is priceless read the book.
The Four Agreements:
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity.
Say only what you mean.
Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip.
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
Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret.
By Don Miguel Ruiz
I do not remember when or how I was introduced to this quote or by whom created it, but I try to live this way every moment.
"I will no longer make excuses for what I don't understand, I will stop and work to understand what is actually going on Until I have it mastered"
Thanks, If you like it pass it on
