‘Always do your best’ is the agreement that I personally like the most. It can cover almost every agreement you make with yourself, so it is kind of like the ultimate agreement. Like Ruiz said, this agreement can be the one that transforms your life, while the others can only begin to. If you are being impeccable with your word than you are doing your best to mean what you say and be honest. If you are not making assumptions, you are doing your best to not over think things, and move forward without being bothered by an assumption that may have been made. By not taking anything personally, you are also doing your best to move along with your own life without other people’s negativity impacting how you feel, because most of the time their negativity is not your problem and nothing to get upset by. Always doing your best can come in many forms and will not be the same as anyone else’s best, but it is something people should look at working on for a way to live a better lifestyle. There are a ton of more ways to always do your best rather than the agreement Miguel Ruiz made. Some can ...
Another thing that corresponds with my mindset is the 5 H's; #2 core value. What sticks in the back of my mind are being humble and hungry. Being humble and hungry are very powerful agents that make an individual or company thrive in the best and worst times.
Most people agree with the quote “sometimes you have to do what’s best for you
...g steps in helping out with any evidence we might know to the official authorities and FBIs. In doing all this we secure our borders by stopping gun flow, any types of drugs, kidnappings, murders, and the criminals causing it before it gets to out of control and start doing it on our side of the border. “We must employ the full spectrum of our law enforcement agencies` resources, expertise, and statutory authorities by continuing to work together, building on what we have done well so far and developing new ideas to refresh our strategies, we can rise to the current challenge. Again, thank you for your recognition of this important issue and the opportunity to testify here today” (Odgen6). Together, we can help the U.S and Mexico to work together more often to build a better border and a strong army of men designed for a better future in favor of the both nations.
To give my personal philosophy of success I would first have to define “success”. Success is the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. My success philosophy that I plan on implementing from now on is accepting personal responsibility for the good and bad choices I make. There will be time when I need to focus on school and worry less about my free time. If I have a test to take I have to study for that test to get a good grade and continuous good grades will help me pass the course. I can’t depend on anyone else to do my work for me I’m personally responsible for completing my assignments and turning them in on time. When the weekend comes around and all I do is procrastinate by telling myself I’ll study later. The smart thing to do about this situation would be to think wise and use my time-management strategies. I’ll always have time for myself, so sacrificing some free time now is well worth it. This helps me to be a creator and not the victim about things and keeping up with the self-management strategy. The success strategies that I will use will help my learning style, self-management and self-responsibility. Most people believe success is just having lots of money, cars, and women but I believe success is an individual sport and I have to be ready to play because the outcome of my performance is based on the work I put into it.
I came across this book quite recently as an assigned reading in Gkisedtanamoogk’s Peace and Reconciliation. Which, incidentally turned out to be on of my favorite college courses. The basic premise of the book is that by making four basic agreements with ourselves we can create a more positive and loving world. The agreements are; to be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, never make assumptions, and always do your best. When I first began reading I thought this was a likely to be a highly oversimplified way to look at our worlds, but through group discussion and further reading I’ve found the philosophies put forward by this book to be hugely profound. By being impeccable with my words I spread less negativity about
“There are certain fundamental principles that govern in all human interactions, and living in harmony with those principles or natural laws is absolutely essential for quality family life.” - Dr. Covey
I feel that doing what you say you will, and treating others as you want to be treated are principles that should not only be looked at as great strengths but as internal values that convey credibility. When people trust you and know they can come to you without judgment, it offers them a sense of security and peace.
“Try to also compromise in a positive way, rather than always sacrificing. Negotiate up for something rather than subtract.” “Give up something, be prepared to offer something to the table yourself.” The 5 rules of fair compromise in a relationship. (2016, June 17). For example my fiancée and I disagree on a lot but this situation was really hard for me to choose at the time I had just graduated from high school I moved in with him and my in laws. I had just quit my job before graduation I felt like anybody, I had no money, no job, and didn’t think in any further education. The environment I was in with others got worse I was getting into arguments with my fiancée because we needed to be stabled and not struggling financially, he wanted me to work full time just like he was. I didn’t want to work because of the fact we have a child and I wanted her to be at least with one of us, if we both worked she’d never see us. Finally, one night I decided I wanted to start college and work at the same time, but we finally agreed that I work less and focus more on college and our child while he worked full time things were really tough but I look at myself now and I have a lot on my plate but I still manage to hang on. Compromising when possible helps have a win-win
6) Integrity- Do what is right at all times, even when no one is watching.
don't let anybody influence you; stopping you from achieving your goal. This maxim talks about morality
“She’s so mean and stuck up.” People acknowledge my independence as threatening or intimidating. I don’t have to rely on others for my happiness. I wont be dishonest or sugar coat things to make you accept me. I don’t tolerate ignorance or disrespect from anyone. Nor will your opinions affect or mold me as an individual.
Lastly, there is the kind of respect that I really believe in. The kind that no one forces into your head
Three “rules to live by” that all people should follow are never give up until you succeed, respect you elders, and never hate your siblings because they will need you in the end.
When you look at your life, what do you see? Is it filled with joy, happiness, and right decisions? Or has it been filled with regrets and wishes unfulfilled? The saying Be Your Best Self is one approach to which many may go about their lives fulfilling everything they would and could wish for. Now how do you implement this saying in your life?
