Extra from The Four Agreements ā Don Miguel Ruiz
Using your imagination and your eyes of perception, I want you to see yourself living a new life, a new dream, a life where you donāt need to justify your existence and you are free to be who you really are.
Imagine that you have permission to be happy and to really enjoy your life. Your life is free of conflict with yourself and others.
Imagine living your life without fear of expressing your dreams. You know what you want, what you donāt want and when you want it. You are free to change your life the way you really want to. You are not afraid to ask for what you need, to say yes or no to anything or anyone.
Imagine living your life without the fear of being judged by others. You no longer rule your behaviour according to what others may think about you. You are no longer responsible for anyoneās opinion. You have no need to control anyone, and no one controls you, either.
Imagine living your life without judging others. You can easily forgive others and let go of any judgments that you have. You donāt have the need to be right, and you donāt need to make anyone else wrong. You respect yourself and everyone else, and they respect you in return.
Imagine living without the fear of loving and not being loved. You are no longer afraid to be rejected, and you donāt have the need to be accepted. You can say āI love youā with no shame or justification. You can walk in the world with you heart completely open and not be afraid to be hurt.
