I came across a thought that had some great advice to help each of be better, as people, and be better at our jobs or businesses.
It is called The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz:
Be Impeccable With Your Word: Speak With Integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourslef 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 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 just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.
Always Do Your Best: Your best is giong to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret.
As I read this over, I thought just how much better each one of would be if we did this four things daily in our lives and our businesses. Make it a great Week!
