My BOOK CLUB recommendation for October is “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz.

This book talks about 4 codes based on Toltec wisdom. Each agreement helps give examples to experience true happiness, freedom and love.

The first agreement is “Be Impeccable With Your Word.” This summarizes how we need to speak with integrity and be careful about what we say before we speak it.

The second agreement is “Don’t Take Anything Personally.” This helps us understand the importance of comprehending and standing by our own truths. Also, how important it is to know and stand by your own self worth.

The third agreement is “Don’t Make Assumptions.” Often we assume everyone sees life the way we do. We can avoid misunderstandings by not assuming someone’s intentions by creating stories that help us make sense of the situation without knowing the truth.

The fourth agreement is “Always Do Your Best.” This talks about how we can personally progress in our individual goals while being gentle to our imperfections.

I have loved reading this as it applies specific to my betrayal trauma and as I teach my children ways to help them take better control on their feelings, actions, self worth and goals.

Do find yourself making assumptions that cause you more hurt that when you learn the truth?
