GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKYβ•πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

I LOVE YOU πŸ’“

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home πŸ₯°

Today, for you, I have a post about one of my favorite books of all time called “The Four Agreements”.

It was written by Don Miguel Ruiz and is a very popular book that has been translated in many languages.

The book is about Toltec wisdom and is a way of approaching life that allows you to overcome difficult times and appreciate the present moment.

It uses the story of a man that one day realized that he was not just observing the universe but was the universe. He looked at the stars and thought that what made the stars was also what made him. He was a being of light and all things were from and are this light. The birds, the trees, and everyone including himself were all connected to this light and the light was what the universe was made of.

When he thought and understood this concept it filled him with joy and he wanted to spread this joy with everyone.

He encountered familiar faces that could tell there was something different about him and he shared with them what he discovered hoping they would feel his joy.

He realized that everyone is living a life that is a form of a dream that is unique to that person and all of the dreams of each person combined to form the dream of the planet.

I would describe the story of this man as a way of understanding that we all have our own unique interpretation of anything and everything and the collective agreement of anything in the world is not necessarily what it is but is what we agree to call it.

The story suggests that we are all the same but we do not see that we are all the same because of the story we grew up with and the story we tell ourself being what separates this truth.

The book also shares a method to approaching life with four agreements to make and honor.

  1. Be impeccable with your word. Impeccable literally means “without sin” and I interpret this as to tell the truth.
  2. Do not make assumptions: This agreement is about what often happens when we are attaching expectations to outcomes or believe that what the result of something if done the same way will lead to the same result. I have found that replacing expectations with probability is a more practical and beneficial way of considering and or planning what might be. Probability is a mathematical perspective and not an assumption and leaves the possibility of what would probably happen not certainly going to happen.
  3. Do not take things personally: This is easier said than done however it has helped me with reminding me that even when someone does something for me it is not because of me, it is because of them. If someone says something “nasty” to me it is not because of me but because of that person. Even when someone says something nice about me it is not about me but reflects that person’s opinion. This has taught me why it is more important to have your opinion of yourself be the most important opinion and that your opinion of yourself is not dependent on another.
  4. Always do your best: This agreement is the action of the four agreements. You can tell the truth, try to not make assumptions or take things personally but there will be moments when you feel like you did not honor the agreements. If you are honestly trying, that is in my opinion the point of the agreements and not to never make mistakes.

I have the physical book and the audio book version of “The Four Agreements” and I have listened to this book more than any other book. It is amazing how the book feels like it applies to my life during whatever time in my life I hear it. I would say that this book has helped me in many ways and also is one of the biggest influences of my LOVE TRY REPEAT approach and book I am currently writing.

Here is a sample of the book narrated by Peter Coyote:
