Faith Post #4

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

Today, Sunday the first day of the week, I'm choosing to highlight four things that should elevate us all.

You may be familiar with Don Miguel Ruiz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Agreements and you may not but after reading when you think about it, it just makes sense. Enjoy!

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 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
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.

About Me

My photo
This is about my life, experiences, research and rants as a young woman who was blindsided by having an ischemic stroke during my sleep in 2006. Before the incident my professional life was on an incredible trajectory. It's a shame because since the incident opportunities became fewer and farther between. I love working in production finance/production accounting for a living. This traumatic experience is not stopping me from living my life. In the meantime I tried social networking and learning various programs including teaching myself to blog. And so far blogging has been very enjoyable. So I've kept it up since 2009. It's currently evolving into a blog magazine. While I'm in the midst of my quest for optimal health and wellness be encouraged! I'm also somewhat of a self proclaimed product junkie and health foodie who loves to share new and great finds with everyone. I dedicated a few posts to product reviews and meal plans. I know that i's nervy to impose my personal choices onto the masses but sometimes the masses need a little help :-). So I occasionally share what I love. I rage against the wind and living my life with guts and glory.
