The Four Agreements

Featured Book of the Week: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, written by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book selection is not a new publication, it was originally published in 1997 and was on the New York Times Bestseller List for over six years. A copy of it arrived in my mailbox yesterday, a thoughtful gift from a dear and beautiful woman I know named Kelly. (Thanks Kelly!) Although I knew about this book last night was the first time I actually read it. It only took me about an hour to read it... the teachings are simple and wise. If you have a spare hour, I recommend reading this book to fill up that empty space. You won't feel so "empty" or victimized by others afterwards.

Nothing mysterious written here. The basic teaching is that we complicate our lives by accepting self-limiting beliefs that are based on other people's perceptions of how society works. We have blindly accepted that other people (our parents, school teachers, ministers, etc.) know the truth when they speak words. But, words spoken are seldom the truth, but are merely opinions.
