I feel like I've gotten a little off-track, lately. Too much time spent worrying about me, my plans, my classes, my drama. I saw a copy of the book The Four Agreements, by Miguel Ruiz, laying on somebody's table the other day, and immediately grabbed some scrap paper and copied them out! I've had them posted on my mirror before and really love to keep them in mind. Here they are, the Four Agreements, in short form:

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.

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.

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 this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

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 when you are sick. Under any circumstance, simply avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.
