Don't take anything personally

Hey there amazing friend!

Remember to post this agreement somewhere you’ll see it!

The book is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Agreement ONE: BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD (last week)

Agreement TWO: DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY

Why do this? To gain freedom and live with an open heart.

“When you take something personally, there is a part of you that believes it.” Ouch.

Don says, “nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. Their point of view (and they get to have that) comes from all the programming they’ve received.”

Don’t allow someone else’s poison to poison you! 

How you can know if you’re taking things personally is your reaction. Are you defending yourself? 

Whether you’re told you are wonderful or terrible - can be irrelevant to you. You know you are good. You don’t need anyone’s opinions to cloud your own judgement of yourself. 

You’ll find you don’t need to ‘trust others’ as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.

You are never responsible for the actions of others; you are only responsible for you. (And your kids of course if you have them). 

A short one today… Nice for both of us!
