Action is about living fully. Inaction is the way that we deny life. Inaction is sitting in front of the television every day for years because you are afraid to be alive and to take the risk of expressing what you are. Expressing what you are is taking action. You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action. Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward.
Making assumptions and then taking them personally is the beginning of hell in this world.
What makes you happy is love coming out of you. And if you are generous with your love, everyone is going to love you. You are never going to be alone if you are generous. If you are selfish, you are always going to be alone, and there is no one to blame but you. Your generosity will open all the doors, not your selfishness. Selfishness.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.
We are on an eternal search for the truth because we only believe in the lies we have stored in our mind.
Do not be concerned about the future; keep your attention on today, and stay in the present moment. Just live one day at a time. Always do your best to keep these agreements, and soon it will be easy for you. Today is the beginning of a new dream.
Faith is so important because it is the force that gives life to every word, to every concept that we store in our mind. We can say that life manifests through faith, and that faith is a messenger of life. Life goes through our faith, and then our faith gives life to everything we agree to believe in.
The first three agreements will only work if you do your best. Don’t expect that you will always be able to be impeccable with your word. Your routine habits are too strong and firmly rooted in your mind. But you can do your best. Don’t expect that you will never take anything personally; just do your best. Don’t expect that you will never make another assumption, but you can certainly do your best.
Our emotions act like a filter through which we see the rest of the world.
When our parents are constantly fighting, when there is disharmony, disrespect, and lies, we learn the emotional way of being like them. Even if they tell us not to be that way.
Awareness makes all the difference.
Don’t take anything personally.
What you are seeing and hearing right now is nothing but a dream. You are dreaming right now in this moment. You are dreaming with the brain awake.
It’s not true for the plants or the animals. It’s not true for the stars or the trees, or for the rest of nature. It’s only true for humans.
Just your existence proves the existence of God.
We practice and practice, and we master how to be what we are not.
If you tell someone you love him, and that person says ‘Well, I don’t love you,” is that a reason for you to suffer? Just because someone rejects you doesn’t mean you have to reject yourself. If one person doesn’t love you, someone else will love you. There is always someone else. And it’s better to be with someone who wants to be with you than to be with someone who has to be with you.
The emotional energy that lives in our home is going to tune our emotional body to that frequency.
If you understand the first agreement, be impeccable with your word, you begin to see all the changes that can happen in your life. Changes first in the way you deal with yourself, and later in the way you deal with other people, especially those you love the most.
All of our drama and suffering is by practice.
