It is not realistic to expect that we will be able to change our thinking from day one and that we can follow all agreements perfectly, or even that we should. However, we can choose the agreements that happen to each of us personally and try to do our best to follow them. In doing so, we can relax knowing that we are doing everything in our power to develop personal freedom and happiness day after day. The love of this book and the quotes remind me how good it is! Please share 🙂 Using the four chords to master your life`s dreams is a magical journey. These are simple, but powerful. What Don Miguel Ruiz calls your authentic self to find wisdom is well-being and mastery. Love your presentation of this. Your best will change from one moment to the next; it will be different if you are tired, unlike well rested. In all circumstances, do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. At first glance of the four chords, I thought, „It`s not that obvious“ and it seemed pretty simple. When I read the book, I realized that simplicity was misleading. In the best-selling The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz gives four principles as a guide to developing personal freedom and love, happiness and peace. Ruiz`s principles are rooted in Toltec`s traditional wisdom and, in their simplicity, these powerful arrangements are difficult and revolve around the idea that the way we think and act is based on agreements we make with ourselves.
These agreements are supposed to be our personal belief systems that developed in childhood. Ruiz presents how to let go of these beliefs and links as a path to a happy, healthy and sensible life. About a week ago, I shared a list of my favorite wellness books, and one book on that list is The Four Agreements. It is a simple read that packs an abundance of wisdom on relatively few pages. This is one of the few books I have read several times to cover it. seriously? „Whatever`s going on around her, don`t take it personally… What others do is not because of you. It`s up to him. Let me tell you a little story that my father once told me; A man has never been happy wherever he has lived. He would constantly move cities that are trying to make a fresh start, and anyone who didn`t like him in the end, so he would move again.
He ended up telling this story to a wise man, and the wise man said to him, „Did you think you were the problem?“ And he was. Because of his actions, his attitudes towards others, etc., he arrived where people did not like him, wherever he went. I have never heard of the four agreements, but I agree with the importance of integrity! That`s impressive! It was the first pin I opened on Pinterest, and I know why now.
