Don Miguel Ruiz’s book, The Four Agreements was published TWENTY-FIVE years ago today! Well, put it this way, “November 7th” is the most definitive anniversary date I have yet to find on it from, so, I’ve just always rolled with, celebrated, and “honored it” on this day.
It was during 2010 while I was in the fledgling stages of crawling out of the beautiful wreckage from my nervous breakdown and accompanying stay at that, err, “spa” I love to LOVE so much in Wickenburg, Arizona, “The Meadows“, when a dear friend and mentor of mine who I’d hired as a life coach for a few months introduced me to it. Lol, I walked in for my weekly session that Friday, sat down in the chair, she handed me the book, and said,
Okay, little one. Time’s up! Your session is over, and by the way I’m not even charging you for today. Just take this with you, read it ALL, and I’ll see you back here next Friday.
No, literally, those were her EXACT “impeccable words”, and that conversation is tattooed on my heart with the most powerful branding iron of all ::: LOVE! (NOTE :: She had me at “little one”!) All I can tell you is that this SHORT and SWEET ‘lil book of ancient Toltec life nugget wisdom changed the entire trajectory of my formerly broken mind and perspective. If you’ve never read it, I cannot recommend it enough. It really IS “short and sweet”, and even the slowest reader can get through it in less than a day.
Oh, and BY the way …
How fricking EPIC is it that I am able to pair this post with a Toltec serenade of sorts by one of my most beloved musician wizards of all, Bruce Dickinson? God, how I love my “divinely punctuated” life … AND I love this book! You don’t have to be “broken” or “FORMERLY broken” to benefit from its wisdom.
