WORD: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Filed Under WORD | 1 Comment

I came across this book, figured you might wanna hear about it. I found it while I was cleaning my library. It’s called The Four Agreements, consider this my first granola moment:

Be Impeccable With Your Word

This means avoiding gossip, lies, empty promises and other ways we cause problems with our words. Say only what you mean, and realize that you can cause damage if you’re not careful with what you say.

Don’t Take Anything Personally

This ‘agreement’ deals with understanding how other people’s behaviors are a reflection of them only. When someone gives us feedback about us, it’s important to remember that no opinions are truly objective; we all have our biases, ‘filters’ through which we view the world, and the like. Because of this, we shouldn’t take anyone else’s view of us or our actions as entirely accurate; when someone says something about us (or anything else), they’re really saying something about themselves and how they view the world.

Don’t Make Assumptions

Much stress is created when people assume they know what other people are thinking without checking with them. Understanding that other people might have different motivations for their actions, even drastically varying world views, and remembering to really try to understand others and discuss these motivations before jumping to conclusions about their behavior, can go a long way toward preventing interpersonal conflict.

Always Do Your Best

By this, Ruiz means to do the best you can at any given moment, and you’ll have no regrets. Some days, your best isn’t as good as other days, and that’s okay. As long as you put an honest effort into life, you will have nothing to be ashamed of, and will not ‘beat yourself up’ over a less-than-stellar performance in retrospect.

I know, it’s basically common sense. But you would be surprised at how often we forget to use our common sense these days…..

Nature’s Valley bitches.

In a little known French city of Nantes, an amazing showcase of art is WOW-ing the populous. The showcase is called the MACHINES OF THE ISLE OF NANTES. These incredible man-made machines are the brain child of Francois Delaroziere & Pierre Orefice. Check out a video of the “elephant” above in motion.
