THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
In the New York
Times bestselling book "The Four Agreements," by Miguel Ruiz, he reveals the
source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. His four agreements offer a powerful code of
conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom,
true happiness and love.
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
"The first agreement is the most
important one and also the most difficult to honor. It is so important that with just this first
agreement you will be able to transcend to the level of existence I call heaven
on earth. The first agreement is to be
impeccable with your word. It sounds
very simple, but it's very, very powerful."
"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."
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
"The next three agreements are really
born from the first agreement. The
second agreement is don't take anything personally. Whatever happens around you, don't take it
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."
3. Don't Make Assumptions
"The third agreement is don't make
assumptions. We have the tendency to
make assumptions about everything. The
problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are the truth. We could swear they are real. We make assumptions about what others are
doing or thinking- we take it personally- then we blame them and react by
sending emotional poison with our word.
That is why whenever we make assumptions, we're asking for
problems. We make an assumption, we
misunderstand, we take it personally, and we end up creating a whole big drama
for nothing."
"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."
4. Always Do Your Best
"There is just one more agreement, but
it's the one that allows the other three to become deeply ingrained habits. The fourth agreement is about the action of
the first three: Always do your best.
Under any circumstance, always do your best, no more and no less."
"Your best is going 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-judgment, self-abuse, and regret."

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK:
"High Blood
Pressure Tied to Memory Loss," by Shari Roan, Los Angeles Times.
"The
research, published in the August issue of Neurology, showed people with high
diastolic blood pressure (that's the bottom number in a blood pressure reading)
were more likely to have problems with memory and thinking skills compared with
people who had normal diastolic readings...
High blood
pressure is defined as a reading equal to or higher than 140/90...
Researchers
suggest a higher diastolic reading signals that the smaller arteries in the
brain are weakening, which can result in subtle brain damage."
Stop in any time during
the month of December and Dr. Angrist will give you a FREE blood pressure
analysis. Do you know where you stand?
