Oh Boy!!!, this is such an important agreement. My gosh, if you and I get this one we will become invincible. This agreement is what kryptonite is to Superman!
Follow me...okay. The Four Agreements explains how we are all domesticated. That means we have been socialized to "BE" the type of human beings we need to be to keep order in our society. That is my short explanation. So, we operate like a computer with conditional statements that run our hardware in our minds which dictate our behavior. So, we have this reality we have created which Don Miguel explains MUCH better than I can that we are living a "DREAM." Yes, we have this idea of how reality is supposed to BE, GO, and EVOLVE. So, when our reality gets shook up it triggers us to reflect and deflect everything back to us, "ME."
Yes, we are all a bit of a narcissist. Own it! I will. As we get older most of us learn that the world does not revolve around us. But, even we tend to think that maybe we had something to do with IT.
So, IF we can remember that everyone is living in their heads in their own dream then we can make the conscious choice when we get offended not to blame ourselves whether it is good or bad. ...RIGHT???
Take for example and this actually happened to a friend of mine. We were walking to a restaurant for dinner. A car with some rowdy teenagers yelled to my friend, "Hey fatty!" She was so hurt and our fun dinner turned into a counseling session for her. Believe it or not, but that insult was not about her. In fact, it was about that teenager who feels so badly about their appearance that they had to target someone else with meanness to make themselves feel better. Those two people had never met and don't know each other at all. But, that random comment from a complete stranger turned my girlfriend's world upside down. Of course, I told her to not take it personally, but she could not do that.
Remember that old nursery rhyme, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." If we could all get to a place where we could be strong enough to know that what people say GOOD or BADcomes from their reality, perceptions, and upbringing we could be invincible instead of carrying around those insults from the present and the past that are NOT meant for us.
This is a POWERFUL POWERFUL POWERFUL agreement. "Don't take it personally!" You will see immediately how weak you are AND you will find your POWER and become STRONGER!
