Today I'd like to talk for a moment about The Third Agreement, as proposed by Don Miguel Ruiz in his book The Four Agreements. The Third Agreement is "don't make assumptions."
As humans, we have the tendency to make assumptions about everything. The problem with this is that we actually believe our assumptions are the truth. We make assumptions about what others think and then blame them for our assumptions.
Ruiz tells us that "All the drama you have lived in your life was rooted in making assumptions and taking things personally. Take a moment to consider this statement of truth."
If we would ask instead of assume we would have much better outcomes in our daily lives. Then, to extend things, if we could learn to not take the things that others say and do personally, just think how much stress we could completely eliminate from our lives.
The possibilities are endless.
