old friends


My friend Chris is visiting here from Massachusetts with her dog, Ichie.
Dusty had to go visit with his grandpa because he is not the best host.
My friend Leslie came over too last night.....it is good to visit with old friends.
hope you like the words below!!!
Love,
Michele




1. 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 of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

I love The Four Agreements - they contain so much wisdom and are so easy to keep in the forefront of your mind. Don Miguel is so right when he says we all live in our own "dream." So much of what we think isn't real even for us, let alone for someone else, and yet so often we try to impose our perspective on others.

The Four Agreements are a powerful tool for maintaining inner peace.
