Your Homework!
First if you have not read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz yet, go read it! If you have read it, read it again. You will not regret it.
After reading the book, write down each agreement on flash cards with summaries or excerpts from the book that resonates with you the most.
Read those flash cards daily for the next 21 days – it takes 21 days to build a habit. Really learn the agreements and practice them in your daily life.
In the words of Don Miguel Ruiz, “Everything you have ever learned, you learned through repetition. You learned to write, to drive, even walk by repetition. You are a master of speaking your language because you practiced. Action is what makes the difference.”

Okay I love this. Have to look up the book now. “Everything you have ever learned, you learned through repetition” That hits home when I think about wanting to create the life I want. The four points are definitely life changing when applied.
It is true though, repetition is the key to achieving our goals. After reading the book, please let me know what’s your takeaway from each agreement.
