Don’t take anything personally-"I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." - Matthew 19:28

Ok so Its been about a month and being impeccable with my word is easy the next agreement "Don’t take anything personally" That one is definitely a harder one to practice . Human nature is to think that we are the center of the universe . That we are responsible for everything and it is worse for women. We grow up thinking that the world and men should make it all about us . The television and music we listen to tells us that we are supposed to make everything about "ME" In the book the four agreements , Miguel Ruiz states "Nothing others people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. " why is that so hard to comprehend . If I am speaking with someone new and I KNOW in the first conversation that I am not liking what I am hearing or that you have beliefs that I absolutely can not agree on , how is that about you? It's not ...but we still have such an ego that somehow it has to be villified and you must state your side to make me UNDERSTAND you.
Even when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. What they say, what they do, and the opinions they give are according to the agreements they have in their own minds.
Women need to know what they want , what they expect and know that it is okay to say that is not in agreement with what I want and move on . Men won't like that of course , They too want it to be always about them .However, If you can understabd that its not about you and that is ok ...You will feel 100 times better and save so much time . It is even very common that we want so badly to make that one guy or girl into the person that you wanted them to be and if you try to do that not only are you fooling yourself but your WASTING your time.
The way you see that movie is according to the agreements you have made with life. Your point of view is something personal to you. It is no one’s truth but yours. Then if you get mad at me I know you are dealing with yourself. I am the excuse for you to get made. And you get mad because you are afraid because you are dealing with fear. If you are not afraid there is no way you will get mad at me. If you are not afraid there is no way you can get jealous or sad.
If you live without fear, if you love, there is no place for any of those emotions. If you don’t feel any of those emotions, it is logical that you will feel good. When you feel good, then everything around you is good. When everything around you is great everything makes you happy. You are loving everything that is around you because you are loving yourself.
Because you like the way you are. Because you are content with you. Because you are happy with your life. You are happy with the movie you are producing happy with your agreements with life. You are at peace and you are happy. You live in a state of bliss where everything is so beautiful. In that state of bliss you are making love all the time with everything you perceive.
Whatever people do, feel, thinks or say don’t take it personally. If they tell you how wonderful you are they are not saying that because of you. You know you are wonderful. It is not necessary to believe other people who tell you that you are wonderful.
