I just realized it's been a while since I've been on my blog. I suppose I'm overdue for an update. Currently I am in migraine mode. Seems like that's been happening a lot lately. I think I'm lacking time for meditation and seeking proper insight into the state of my existence.
Nearly seven years ago a friend of mine introduced me to The Four Agreements. This book, written by Don Miguel Ruiz, was life changing for me. It's been on the shelf for a few years. I decided to put Stones to Schools on hold for a few days and re-read this incredible book.
The Four Agreements
1. Be impeccable with your word. 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. 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. 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. 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.
The pain of this migraine sits on my left temple.
It makes it difficult to concentrate.
