Toltec wisdom as doled out by Don Miguel Ruiz is an amazing read with a lot of information about living better by taking simple steps to make our responses align better with a world of love. Understanding others better comes from mastering the self and making conscious choices to do better in life and making a difference in this world. The steps are simple in theory; however, they contradict the human condition which focuses on how we have been wronged, made assumptions about what we think others think of us, and taking most things personal. Your word is the power to create. Nothing others do is because of you. The problem with assumptions is we believe they are the truth. Regardless of the quality, keep doing your best. By hooking our attention, the word can enter our mind and change a whole belief for better or for worse. Everyone has their beliefs according to their own system, so nothing they think about you is really about you. All the sadness and drama you have lived in your life was rooted in making assumptions and then taking things personally. When you do your best, you accept yourself.
- Be impeccable with your words
- Don’t take anything personally
- Don’t make assumptions
- Be your best always!
