“La felicidad, igual que el sufrimiento, es una elección “

quote
Paus0312

“Hacer lo máximo que puedas significa actuar porque amas hacerlo, no porque esperas una recompensa. La mayor parte de las personas hacen exactamente lo contrario: sólo emprenden la acción cuando esperan una recompensa, y no disfrutan de ella. Y ese es el motivo por el que no hacen lo máximo que pueden.”

quote
Paus0312

El maestro contestó: “No estás aquí para sacrificar tu alegría ni tu vida. Estás aquí para vivir, para ser feliz y para amar. Si puedes alcanzar tu máximo nivel en dos horas de meditación, pero utilizas ocho, sólo conseguirás agotarte, apartarte del verdadero sentido de la meditación y no disfrutar de tu vida. Haz lo máximo que puedas, y tal vez aprenderás que independientemente del tiempo que medites, puedes vivir, amar y ser feliz”.

Miguel wisdom and experience, presented through the audiobook format, really spoke to me.
The Four Agreements are be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best, and are life-changing. There is no better self improvement guide and spiritual manual than this....

This has been on my bookshelf for 10+ years and I‘m so glad I finally picked it up. It‘s a super short book and honestly it was repetitive so it could have been even shorter, but it think the author wanted to make sure the reader fully understood each agreement. I‘ll definitely use these agreements in the future. I also felt good how I had already changed my “nightmare” agreements and really feel my life has become my dream. I highly recommend.

#mondaymotivation 1. It‘s Ramadan so EID this week and my 3 kids are still on Spring break so family time at the beach and finally my daughter‘s 12th birthday sleep over party. 2. I started making my own Chai Latte from scratch, so lately that‘s the one. But, any hot drink. Usually tea but sometimes coffee or hot chocolate. 3. A book mark and I save them over the years like little memories. 4. Tagged- it‘s been in my TBR pile for 10+ years.

Wherever you go you will find people lying to you, and as your awareness grows, you will notice that you also lie to yourself. Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you.

quote
ellimanelli

You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action. Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward.

A refreshing short book that focuses on 4 important agreements in order not to be to hard on yourself and attract positivity. A must read if you feel overwhelmed and need a book to help you focus on what‘s really important in life.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The other one that had a really profound impact on me was “The Four Agreements“, which is basically the agreements that you make with yourself. People often have conflicting agreements in their mind and if you read this book you'll stop the chatter in your mind. It makes it way easier to focus and execute. It also makes you much stronger emotionally

Recommended by a counselor. DNF. Either this is ancient wisdom never shared and the author has chosen to cash in on it OR it‘s his own wisdom and he‘s using that as a hook. I don‘t believe the ancestors gave him permission to share said wisdom after thousands of years. But who am I? 🤷‍♀️ There may be good principles in this book but that turned me off from the start and I couldn‘t carry on. Felt too gimmicky.

AnnR @megnews, I had a similar reaction to this one. At one point I had a co-worker who raved about this book and even had a copy of the “four agreements“ on her desk. Somehow I was put off by some of the author's claims and therefore never fully embraced his message. (You are right that some of it comes off as a gimmick.) I'm surprised this book has continued to be so popular. Maybe there is something to it after all. 2y

"The rest of the animals pay once for every mistake they make. But not us. We have a powerful memory. We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty, and we punish ourselves. If Justice exists, then that was enough; we don't need to do it again. But every time we remember, we judge ourselves again, we are guilty again, and we punish ourselves again, and again, and again."

I understand why people like this book. There were a few good quotes that I highlighted, but I still don‘t fully recommend it. I was occasionally offended, but I could tell the author had good intent. It‘s not life changing, but there are a few parts that make you think differently.

This is one of those books that, had I read it at a different time in my life, I probably wouldn't have liked it. But because I read it at this current point in my life, where I'm on a path of self love and self development, I really connected with it. I highlighted a lot and I really do believe that honoring the 4 agreements will make life easier and more enjoyable. Not for everyone, but a good read for an open mind 😌

IuliaC Stacked! I read The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz and enjoyed it 😊 4y

Only by making an inventory of our agreements will we uncover all of the conflicts in the mind and eventually make order out of the chaos of the mitote.

“And I put a little piece of my love in every human, and I became one with the whole of humanity. Wherever I go, whomever I meet, I see myself in their eyes, because I am a part of everything, because I love.“

This was a decent read. I think this is a really good starter book for someone on the path to find more peace and have a more positive outlook/effect in life.

This book is such an eye opener for me. I should have read it when I was ten years old. Or may be I wouldn't have understood it then! Nevertheless I am so glad I read it. And now I have the four agreements as a post it on my laptop. I fall off and jump back on the wagon again, everyday!
