Be Impeccable With Your Word
One of my favorite books is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. It is also a favorite of one of my coaching clients. Together we are exploring the agreements in our coaching sessions. Although I have read the book many times, I am seeing so much more this time around. We just finished the first agreement - be impeccable with your word. I was just amazed at how I now see the beauty and importance of not just keeping my word to others but to myself. I now see the importance of refraining from finding fault with myself-to only speak loving things about myself. I am learning to quiet that taunting voice that wants to make me wrong or make me feel bad about myself. I also never realized how the other agreements are so dependent on this first agreement. Being impeccable with my word has me loving and accepting myself more which I know ultimately has me loving and accepting others more, just as they are. If you have not read the book or have not picked it up lately, it would be a great summer read by the pool.

You are exactly right. My life coach once told me that you should envision yourself doing it (seeing it), believe in yourself, and then say it outloud. So being impeccable with your word is truly a reflection of what and who you are. I have not read this book in a long time, but really enjoy your thoughts surrounding the book. We continue to learn new things everyday, and see the miracles that life really offers.
