Passages referenced from “The Four Agreements”

We pretend to be what we are not because we are afraid of being rejected. The fear of being rejected becomes the fear of not being good enough. Eventually be become someone that we are not.

And

To be alive is the biggest fear that humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive- the risk of being alive and express what we really are. Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans.

Mentions:

  • Tommy Tutone is at Martini Park Thursday!
  • Sarah Vargo: One of the top five Nightlifers to watch in Chicago and Birthday Party Friday!
  • Where is a great place to go snow sledding in downtown Chicago?

great book huh? The Mastery of Love is a next next step as well!

I have these posted on my wall…

The Four Agreements

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.
