Practice the Four Agreements: Be impeccable with my word/ Don't take anything personally/ Don't make assumptions/ Always do my best

agreements

maybe your book down below on your list could be more about agreements than about to do. had a funny comment the other day about a person’s list—really is more “to finish” than to do. we all seem to start out strongly then lose our way.

if you need a cheerleader on this, let me know!

this week, just don’t make assumptions—that’s a good start.

love your photo. did you take it?

Assumptions

It’s funny you mentioned assumptions. The one I really need to work on. I read a book recently by Charles Dickens “Expectations” the story taught you why you should not assume or expect.
Yet once again I assumed something which lead to disappointment. I’m not sure anyone knew though which is progress for me. :)
No I can’t take credit for the photo, I found the it on the internet love those bad weather days. :)

you're so right

never connected “great expectations” to assumptions, but of course it is all about that. i study the four agreements periodically, then, manage to forget, then remember, and so on, like a camera going in and out of focus. wouldn’t it be grand to always stay in the moment, without assumptions, not taking anything personally?

give you an example. a friend this week has a celebration for her new husband’s 40th. i hadn’t heard from her about the playtime and was sad not to be included. today i saw my phone text message where she had txtd to let me know. how ridiculous was that that i should even think about it? craziness, humaness, taking something personally that wasn’t even real. bizarre. so, staying in the moment. being always grateful for what is and sending love. so easy. so fun!

That sounds soooo like something I would do. :)

Yes, thinking of the moment and enjoying it for what it is sounds like the way to go.

It reminds me of the saying
Yesterday is only a memory,
Tomorrow just a dream,
Today is a gift,that is why it is called a present.

Only this moment, right now, the present, the gift :)
