Be Impeccable With Your Word.</span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“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.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“When you look at yourself in a mirror, do you like what you see, or do you judge your body and use the word to tell yourself lies? If you believe that you are not attractive enough, then you believe a lie, and you are using the word against yourself, against the truth.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“You know that if you lie to yourself, surely other people lie to themselves. And if they lie to themselves, they will lie to you also.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.purposefairy.com/73404/15-life-changing-lessons-to-learn-from-don-miguel-ruiz/www.purposefairy.com/71310/don-miguel-ruiz-speaks-on-how-to-not-take-things-personally/" target="_blank"><span>2. Don’t Take Anything Personally.</span></a></span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“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.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“But it is not what I am saying that is hurting you; it is that you have wounds that I touch by what I have said. You are hurting yourself. There is no way I can take this personally.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“…Nothing that your partner does is personal. Your partner is dealing with her own garbage. If you don’t take it personally, it will be so easy for you to have a wonderful relationship with your partner”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3">3. Don’t Make Assumptions.</span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-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.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don’t tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don’t understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don’t have the courage to ask questions.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3">4. Always Do Your Best.</span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“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.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“When we believe in lies, we cannot see the truth, so we make thousands of assumptions and we take them as truth. One of the biggest assumptions we make is that the lies we believe are the truth!”</span></p><h2 class="p1"><span class="font-size-3">5. You can only be the main character in your own story.</span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“The same way that you are the main character of your story, you are only a secondary character in everybody else’s story.”</span></p><h2 class="p1"><span class="font-size-3">6. Life is but a mirror.</span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3">7. The best way to say, “I love you, God,” is to live your life doing your best.</span></h2><p class="p1"><span class="font-size-3">“God is life. God is life in action. The best way to say, “I love you, God,” is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say, “Thank you, God,” is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now.</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.purposefairy.com/65598/5-steps-to-let-go-of-your-past-with-the-healing-power-of-storytelling/" target="_blank"><span>8. Let go of the past so you can enjoy your present life fully.</span></a></span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.purposefairy.com/67487/how-to-let-go-of-people-who-no-longer-need-or-want-to-be-in-your-life/" target="_blank"><span>9. Let go of toxic relationships. </span></a></span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn’t walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don’t need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“I will no longer allow anyone to manipulate my mind and control my life in the name of love.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.purposefairy.com/6147/5-things-you-can-do-to-love-your-authentic-self-more/" target="_blank"><span>10. Love yourself. Honor yourself. Be good to yourself. </span></a></span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“I no longer agree to treat myself with disrespect. Every time a self-critical thought comes to mind, I will forgive the Judge and follow this comment with words of praise, self-acceptance, and love.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.purposefairy.com/70266/getting-things-straight-what-true-love-is-really-all-about/" target="_blank"><span>11. Love only wants to love. No explaining and no justifying is needed in love. </span></a></span></h2><p class="p1"><span class="font-size-3">“You don’t need to justify your love, you don’t need to explain your love, you just need to practice your love. Practice creates the master.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.purposefairy.com/66208/how-to-begin-rebuilding-your-life-and-make-it-ridiculously-amazing/" target="_blank"><span>12. Dreams won’t work unless you do.</span></a></span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“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”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3">13. Your heart can create any amount of love, not just for yourself, but for the whole world.</span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“People are starving for love, not knowing their heart is a magical kitchen. Open your heart. Open your magical kitchen and refuse to walk around the world begging for love. In your heart is all the love you need. Your heart can create any amount of love, not just for yourself, but for the whole world.</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3">14. Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.</span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“When we respect everybody around us, we are in peace with everybody around us.”</span></p><h2 class="p2"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.purposefairy.com/73363/a-refreshing-approach-on-how-to-simplify-your-life/" target="_blank"><span>15. Life is simple. It’s humans who insist on making it complicated. </span></a></span></h2><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“Life is very, very simple and easy to understand, but we complicate it with the beliefs and ideas that we create.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3">“We never stop to consider that our beliefs are only a relative truth that’s always going to be distorted by all the knowledge we have stored in our memory.”</span></p><p class="p3"><span class="font-size-3"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;">What is your favorite quote from Don Miguel Ruiz</span>?

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8108625881,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" /></p>Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't! You have wings, learn to use them and fly!<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8108625881,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" /></p>" ~Rumi</div>
