Reminders from the World

by heathervescent

A few years ago, I was taking a class in a local high school. On the chalkboard I found the following suggestions. I think it's great that the teacher was suggesting these to her class - especially a high school class. I wish I knew who the teacher was so I could give credit.

How to live a Happy Stress free Life

1. Be impeccable with your word
Before you speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

2. Avoid being judgmental
Ask questions, express what you really want

3. Give the benefit of the doubt
We are all doing the best we can at our level of awareness.

4. Always do your best
In doing so, you avoid self judgment, self abuse and regret

Be Impeccable to your word is one of the Four Agreements. I can't remember the rest, but that list of four is looking suspicious...

I found this list before that book was released. For a list of Don Miguel's Four Agreements, check this site: http://www.everydaywisdom.us/four_agreements.htm

But basically they are
- BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
- DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
- DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
- ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
