live the four agreements
note to self

i think i’m doing pretty well…tatay and i haven’t had any fights since saturday, i think…and it’s been 4 days counting today. so 4 days doesn’t seem that long…but it’s pretty good considering we used to bicker almost everyday.

i’m trying to be zen as well, which i think is just another name for the four agreements. especially the 2nd one, don’t take things personally…hmm…so pat pat on the back hope i don’t regress. and tatay’s doing pretty well, too. socializing and connecting with the larger world…like i should be doing, too…and i think i’m starting…

Awesome...

It’s amazing how starting to adopt the agreements will lessen the amount of conflict in your life. I guess my last comment snuck in there it was directed toward my caffeine use, sorry.

Thanks!

I also read your last entry and I just have to say…

It’s difficult to live the four agreements. It’s even more difficult to influence other people to practice them as well.

I find that it’s easier on me and it lessens the drama, when I just go about my business practicing the four agreements without trying to share it with others through telling them.

Maybe in the future, when we’ve been practicing for a while, people will be influenced by our actions.

But it really is difficult. But I’m happy that at least we’re trying.

Good job, us!

I agree to an extent.

I look at it a lot like enabling, go figure (I’m in the alcohol and other drug field). There has to be times when you call people on their behavior especially when it’s detrimental to other people. So leading by example is good and I think it’s important to address negative situations in an appropriate manner. You just have to pick your battles. Often, it doesn’t come down to quoting doctrine, it’s a matter of being positive.

you make a good point...

i guess the answer is balance? yes, picking your battles seems like a good way to put it. :)
