Be
Impeccable With Your Word.
Our words, our thoughts, and our feelings all contribute
to the creation of our reality. Our word is a two-edged sword,
it can create or it can destroy. To be impeccable is to create
with conscious awareness and love. The human mind is fertile
ground for the seeds that are our word. Plant the seeds of love,
not fear. Judging, blaming, shaming, and especially gossiping
create poison in ourselves and others. This agreement alone
is enough to break all of our old agreements and change the
dream of our life.
Don't
Take Anything Personally. Other people's reactions
and opinions are simply other people's reactions and opinions.
They are having their own experience and none of it has anything
to do with you -- it does not make you wrong, guilty, bad, unworthy,
famous, loveable, or important. You only take them personally
when you agree with their poison. If you are "triggered" by
someone or they "push your buttons," they have touched a wounded
place in you. Become aware of the emotional wound they have
exposed for you, be grateful for their help, and take responsibility
for your healing of your wound.
Don't
Make Assumptions. Our minds have the need to "know."
When we don't know, we make assumptions -- they make us feel
safer than not knowing. To imagine that you know what someone
else is thinking is an assumption. To imagine that you can know
or control the future or another person's actions is an assumption.
Expectations are assumptions. In making assumptions, we create
our reality without respect for another's truth or experience.
To avoid assumptions, ask questions. It takes courage to trust
the present moment, to allow other people to be exactly who
they are, and to let life unfold according to its own plan...
and it avoids a great deal of suffering
Always
Do Your Best. Your best changes from moment to moment,
sick or well, tired or rested. Remember that you are an imperfect
human being. We can extend to ourselves and to others compassion
for our human-ness and reverence for our divinity. There is
no value to judging yourself for "failing" -- and no truth to
it either. When you are not impeccable, when you take something
personally, or make an assumption, you are still doing your
best, and you are still a beloved child of Spirit. Agree to
always do your best, with love and acceptance for the imperfect
divine human that you are.
