This episode is reviewing The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, a self-help book that explores the power of personal agreements and how they shape our reality. The book is based on ancient Toltec wisdom and presents four agreements that can help readers transform their lives: Be impeccable with your word. This agreement encourages honesty and integrity in communication, both with oneself and others. Don't take anything personally. This agreement advises readers to recognize that other people's actions and words are not about them, but rather about their own beliefs and experiences. Don't make assumptions. This agreement encourages readers to ask questions and seek clarification rather than making assumptions about other people's thoughts and intentions. Always do your best. This agreement encourages readers to strive for excellence and to do their best in all endeavors, even when they are not feeling their best. Overall, The Four Agreements is a thought-provoking and practical guide that can help readers improve their relationships, communication, and overall well-being. It is well-written and easy to understand, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to make positive changes in their life. Have a book that you would recommend?

The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake. 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." It is okay to regret past decisions, but not to dwell on them. What is not okay is not learning and growing from those situations. “In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself. And the limit of your self-abuse is exactly the limit that you will tolerate from someone else. If someone abuses you a little more than you abuse yourself, you will probably walk away from that person. But if someone abuses you a little less than you abuse yourself, you will probably stay in the relationship and tolerate it endlessly.” What we tolerate from ourselves is what we tolerate at our places of work and in our relationships. “Do not be concerned about the future; keep your attention on today, and stay in the present moment. Just live one day at a time. Always do your best to keep these agreements, and soon it will be easy for you. Today is the beginning of a new dream.” Focus on doing your best today and the future will take care of itself.
