Live Authentically by practicing the Four Agreements
Gary van Warmerdam
We move through the world as if we are blind. We bump into things and
hurt our selves emotionally. We blame the world and other people for
how we feel. We don't know that our eyes are closed. We don't know
that we were moving and that we could have taken different turns.
As our eyes open we realize we are responsible for getting into
situations. We see our role behind the choices in our life. Yet we
still blame others and get upset out of habit. We have not yet gotten
control of our self even though we are in the drivers seat. We are
training to master the course of our life.
As we become more aware, we see our buttons. We still run into things
but not as much. We learn to change the controls. As we gain more
awareness our eyes open further and we can see down the road. We
don't hurt our selves emotionally, and we learn to avoid other drivers
who are blind also.
When your eyes are open, the war is over. The world of illusions no
longer blinds you. When the war is over it is time to give up being a
warrior. It is time to be the artist of your life.
Life is easy when you open your eyes and pay attention to the road.
