"2nd Agreement: Don’t Take Anything Personally.
Nothings 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 of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering."
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements
Are you taking what other people say to you too personally?
Someone tells you you’re attractive. Someone else tells you you’re ugly.
Don’t take either one personally.
If we’re constantly looking to others for our sense of self and our sense of well-being, we are subject to the moods and whims of others.
That’s not a good thing. To combat this, we must learn to not take anything personally.
Why not give it a try?
…
The Four Agreements in a nutshell:
- Be impeccable with your word.
- Don’t take anything personally.
- Don’t make assumptions
- Always do your best
