The (Four) Agreements

Don't take this personally...

I have been moving through this amazing book by Don Miguel Ruiz in a "book club" of sorts with my work buddies. It's just a little book, with a big message, called the four agreements.

As with anything, since this book came back into my field of play, it's been loud and clear. I didn't plug in right away. One of our work mentors said she based her career on this book and it served her well, and we should all read it together. The next two team meetings we had a session where we could share about this book. I didn't. Yet the 4 Agreements kept showing up for me. They are, if you're not familiar:

· Be Impeccable With Your Word.
· Don't Take Anything Personally.
· Don't Make Assumptions.
· Always Do Your Best.

A week later, I was reminded—very blatantly—not to take a friend's decision personally. Then I was reminded, twice mind you, that making assumptions never leads to a good place. Then I was triggered by, and had to do some rREST around, someone not sticking to their word. And all the while, almost daily, I am reminded that how you do one thing is how you do everything.

If you haven't read this book—now that I've brought it up—you may want to. I would never "should" on you, but these are great, simple, and precise lessons for life and doing life with ease. As is our motto. We want you to skate through your troubles with a positive attitude. We want you to smile—nay, LAUGH—at every little hiccup like it's NBD. We want you to manifest your deepest dreams, and all the abundance you deserve, with ease.
