8. The four agreements seem to be common sense. Do you find it easy or difficult to put these agreements into practice? Has the practice of one or more of the Four Agreements changed your life? If people really stayed true to the spirit of these agreements, to the people around them and to themselves, we would have a healthier world. This is a list of quotes and questions to help you prepare for the study of the book New Age, which covers The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (a book of Toltec wisdom) by Don Miguel Ruiz, and this study guide is comprehensive in its entirety.

We are creatures of attachments – we are so closely attached to our ideas, opinions and perspectives. These guidelines are about letting go! My love of reading + self-discovery led me to found 🙂 a BOOK CLUB in Chicago. Each month I will share with you an overview of the questions//discussion prompts so you can either #1] use the prompts to keep a journal or #2] take the CHAARG girls in your area and run your own CHAARG book club! This may very well apply to people who have terrible bosses or who have groaning friends. But this logic does not apply when we think of the child harassed by his parents or the mother who was caught by her child at the border with the United States. Do we value those people who have become victims? Should they have asked for something better? And to whom should they make this kind of demand? The power dynamics of life are not always as clear as Mr. Ruiz says, and his fate offended me. The four agreements will be a book that I read every year.
; ) #1] Which of the four agreements suits you best? If you`re looking for concepts to help you and others, especially at the beginning of a new year, this book might be a good book for you, but make sure you don`t take everything Ruiz says. He too is only a human being and he must also face himself. There is a lot to be said about the four agreements, honestly, if more people lived on agreements, we would have a more sensitive and communicative society. Remember, these are questions that will help you go deep and engage. In an hour, we won`t be able to cover them all, and so we won`t even try. Here is a list of quotes and questions that will help you prepare the study of the book New Age, which deals with the four chords: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (a book of Toltec wisdom) by Don Miguel Ruiz, and this guide is complete.

8. The four agreements seem to be common sense. Do you think it is easy or difficult to put these agreements into practice? Has the practice of one or more of the four agreements changed your life? Ruiz is very cut and dry and meets someone who forgets the nuances of life. He makes a lot of assumptions about the people who read this book (which is a no). There are a lot of victims` bills throughout the book. He points out, for example, that we only take the abuses we think we deserve.

If people really stayed true to the spirit of these agreements, to the people around them and to themselves, we would have a healthier world. If you take agreements literally, they are wonderful and easy to remember and implement. However, nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and there are a lot of complex elements in the game when we talk about human interaction. Here, the book misses the mark.

My love of reading – discovering myself led me to create a BOOK CLUB in Chicago: #1] Which of the four chords suits you best? 8. The four agreements seem to be common sense. Do you think it is easy or difficult to put these agreements into practice? Has the practice of one or more of the four agreements changed your life? Remember, these are questions that will help you go deep and engage. In an hour, we won`t be able to cover them all, and we won`t even try. It is marked. The recognition of the four agreements implies an act of defiance engraved on the four agreements granted to Ruiz by the US Navy. #2] Why are the four chords, while so simple, difficult to follow? We are creatures of connection – we connect our ideas, our opinions, – the perspectives are so narrow. These guidelines are about letting go!

Here is a list of quotes and questions that will help you prepare the study of the book New Age, which deals with the four chords: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (a book of Toltec wisdom) by Don Miguel Ruiz, and this guide is complete. We develop discipline through practice. Just practice the chords and “always do your best,” which is the fourth chord. #5] “We are rapidly developing the need to capture the attention of others in order to get the reward. We begin to pretend to be who we are not just to please others – we reward ourselves when we are “the good girl.” We punish our values when we are not. ++ When we punish ourselves for making a decision that didn`t serve us best, we tend to fight over + on it in our head. How can we overcome this? How can we forgive ourselves and move on? #4] Read about the “Dream of the Planet” – beliefs of society, religion, parental media [page 2]. Is there a deep-rooted belief you have that you no longer want to believe? In addition, we have learned to judge – we judge others + ourselves all the time. Where do you notice that you are judging? How can you extend love instead? #13] “You have to stand up and be human. Honor the man or woman you are.
Respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body. Nourish, cleanse + heal your body. Train + do what makes your body feel good. ALL THAT, YES. How can this quote manifest itself in everyday life? #10] We assume that partners/friends know what we want. We must defend our desires. How can we know if we desire something “selfishly”? Discuss the importance of communication + all the lessons you learned during the conversation. #11] Always doing your best means being aware of your choices. There are no “bad” decisions – there are good choices + learning choices. You`re never stuck when you make a decision. Is there anything you need to make a decision about? #12] You can have a lot of good ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action. What do you need to answer? How do you want to do that? “Your body is a manifestation of God, + if you honor your body, everything will change for you.
