| Using the Four Agreements to master the dream of your life |
The Four Agreements
by Don Miguel Ruiz
This author has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltec. See at this link Toltec Spirit
You've heard some of this before in your life, but this book pulls a philosophy together with advice on how to successfully implement it.
The Four Agreements:
Be impeccable with your word
Don't take anything personally
Don't make assumptions
Always do your best
One cornerstone is to truly be yourself, not a reflection of the domestication you've learned from society, and people closest to you. This is also referred to as "the Book of Law" that is absorbed into your conscious. But you don't have to agree to live by other people's imposed values. You can replace those agreements with your own agreements as you rediscover yourself, and are true to yourself. In this companion book you learn how.
There is true wisdom here, and practical plans for applying this peaceful philosophy to your life. Awareness is the first step, followed by self-acceptance.
"I intend to master the Four Agreements."
"I will pay attention to my thoughts, feelings, and actions each day."
"I will take the following actions every day to ensure that I keep my new agreements."
"I will repeat these actions for at least four weeks."
Every action has a reaction. This author advises that when you change the action the reaction chain will then be changed. Live in the present, without regrets or guilt from the past - this author shows you how.
At the end of the book is a compelling interview with the author, with in-depth questions about the philosophy.
