playing my own music learning the events in my surroundings without leaving the country. What a great feeling.Meanwhile here's what I’ve Learned from the book-The Four Agreements
In his timeless book The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz offers a set of principles that, when practiced daily, can bring peace, clarity, and balance to our lives. These agreements may seem simple at first glance, but their power lies in consistent practice. Here’s a reflection on each:
1. Be impeccable with your word.
Words carry energy. They can inspire or wound, uplift or destroy. Being impeccable with your word means speaking truthfully, avoiding gossip, and using language that nurtures rather than harms. It’s not just about what you say to others—it’s also about the words you use with yourself.
2. Don’t take anything personally.
So often, we suffer needlessly because we assume that the opinions and actions of others are directed at us. In reality, people’s behavior is more about their own experiences, struggles, and perspectives. Letting go of personal offense frees us from unnecessary hurt and helps us live with greater emotional resilience.
3. Don’t make assumptions.
Assumptions are shortcuts the mind takes, but they often lead to misunderstandings. How much conflict could be avoided if we simply asked questions, clarified intentions, or sought understanding instead of jumping to conclusions? Choosing curiosity over assumption opens the door to healthier communication.
4. Always do your best.
Your best will change from moment to moment—sometimes strong and full of energy, other times quiet and limited. What matters is giving what you can in the present. And here’s an important reminder: let your best be good enough.Too often, we hold ourselves to impossible standards. But when we honor the effort, not just the outcome, we can find peace in knowing we’ve done what we can.
Finally, my Personal Reflection on the FOUR Agreements
As I look back on my own journey, especially through the years I’ve been writing and sharing on this blog, I see how much these agreements have shaped the way I express myself. Writing has been my way of practicing the first agreement—being impeccable with my word. Each post has been a chance to share honestly, to use words that reflect truth and kindness, and to leave behind something of value.
The second and third agreements—not taking things personally and not making assumptions—have helped me handle both the praise and the criticism that come with putting my voice out into the world. I’ve learned that once my words are shared, they take on their own life, and people will receive them through the lens of their own experiences.
And of course, the fourth agreement—always do your best, and let your best be good enough—is perhaps the one I’ve lived most closely through my blogging. Not every post is perfect, not every idea fully polished, but I’ve written with sincerity. Over time, I’ve come to see that doing my best in the moment, and accepting that as enough, has brought me peace and joy in the process itself.
These agreements are not just wisdom from a book—they’ve been companions on my own path, guiding how I live, how I write, and how I share with all of you. Your comments on this posting will be highly appreciated,
