You are amazing.. Thank you!! You are SO right! I, actually, instinctively taught myself those 4 agreements when I was very young. That's why I still feel pretty good with who I am. I think it's one of reasons why people appreciates me once they get to know me.

No one is perfect. Just try your best. And stay humble.

Jill, what can I say about your great presentation on 4 Agreements? Excellent and well-presented. We all need to remind ourselves from day to day to do our best to apply the other three agreements. Keep up with great work!

1). impeccable with words.
if jesus, mother teresa & gandi did bring the word of wisdom then we all can do too. but it won't be easy.

2). don't take anything personally.
um, of course, i don't take anything personally to pick up battle with idiot. but... i do take anything personally to listen jesus, mother teresa, gandi and YOU too... cuz i value your belief in good things for good intention.

3). don't make assumptions.
um, but i was taught not to ask any lady about her age politely. lol, don't take me personally from #2. of course, clarity is best honest. but.. it would not be good idea to ask saddam hussein any question without think twice when he was president. let police handle the questions, just kidding (learning from #1).

4). always do your best.
when someone is too lazy to make mistake and tell me, "no one is perfect" in life that really do drive me nut. i am all for making the effort to improve in life despite "no one is perfect."

btw, where is the 5th agreement like "patient" is key too to control the emotion into calm before thinking.

thank for sharing.

Sister Jill:

This is a very good reminder due to crisis happening at various v/blog sites where others are suffering from the past events.

The four agreements is a good way for others to understand how to become a better human being.

The third part where it says, "Do not take anything personal" is a very important point while v/blog because everything is up for interpretation.

The last part, "Always do your best" is the most noblest thing a human being can do in this lifetime. It is not "I will try my best" but "I will do my best."

Lastly, Joseph Murphy from the book of "The power of your Subconsious Mind" mentions, "Change your thoughts, and you can change your destiny."

Peace and Love,
