Last week I finished reading one of the best books ever written The Four Agreements by author Miguel Ruiz. The Four Agreements is one of his most acclaimed books which teaches the principles of the Toltec traditions as it relates to personal freedom. It was really an eyeopener learning how imprisoned we can be both spiritually and intellectually in our dysfunctional and unhealthy beliefs that society has created for us. In today's society everything has been predestined and we humans must just live according to this huge book of laws which continue to prevent us from enjoying our own freedom and allowing ourselves to live stress free lives.
The Four Agreements allows one to understand how one's past experiences no longer matter in the long run. We aren't discounting nor are we discrediting any of our life experiences needless to say however, the past is by no means an indicator for the future but a lesson learned for all of us to move forward. The key to self fulfillment I have learned is that its all about time. When you think of time in itself, it feels as though it either goes by too fast or too slowly for us. When we are dealing with obstacles that hinder us from achieving our goals, it feels like a lifetime that we are stuck with a feeling of hopelessness. Time feels like a death sentence. In times like this we need to always remember our goal and never lose sight of our focus no matter what. If we fill out lives with positivity and practice self motivation, making these baby steps become a whole lot easier. Constantly remind yourself of what your desired outcome is and visualize it happening. The law of attraction is all about attracting what we want in life therefore if we continue along this path we can be certain that we will get what we want out of life.
The old saying "time heals" speaks to each one of us at some point in our lives. This saying is all about baby steps as well as with each day that progresses we are unconsciously moving forward with our lives. We are evolving and changing every day. We are growing and developing in all aspects of our lives. The universe will allow our success to happen when it is due. Given human nature we are all control freaks. We want exact dates and timelines. We learn after years of creating our own misery that we must let life unfold as it is meant to be. As long as we are living we are making progress, for every day is a step closer to our future- the ones we have so desperately been planning and the ones we are so afraid to embrace. The one thing that keeps us going is time, be it friend or foe we must move with its rhythm and flow and let everything else go!
