PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT
Would you like for your life to be a little more stress free? Would you like to find yourself happier on a more consistent basis? Maybe find yourself being more successful? I'm sure that you wish there was some way for this to happen without you having to do any work, but the truth is this all lies in your hands. Want to know how? Below are 4 agreements that anyone can make with themselves to move in this positive direction.
Number 1- Be Impeccable with your word, meaning to speak with Integrity. When you speak, only say what you mean. Avoid using words to speak against yourself or to gossip about others, and use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Number 2- Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is solely because of you. What others do and say is a projection of their own reality. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you will never be the victim of needless suffering.
Number 3- Don't make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama.
Number 4- Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment, it will be different from when you are feeling well, as opposed to when you're feeling sick, but under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid your own self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
Think about it. Make the Commitment and Do it! Have a great week and GO Panthers!
