I've heard of the book before and I'm pretty sure I have it on my laptop somewhere but I've never read it! Your piece made me want to read it:) I feel like agreement nr 2 is something I've been pretty good at (even with advice - when people give me advice now I don't take it as the 'truth' but their truth. I used to think (still do sometimes) that other people know better than me 🤷♀️
Be impeccable with your word is intriguing and speaks to me the most, I might read the book just for that first agreement 😂
Sorry about the experience you've been having with your neighbour 🙏 I agree with your sentiment: " I must not allow her behaviour to affect how I feel about myself and I must always try my best - even if that means swallowing my own pride and ego, and saying hello to her even when I really don’t want to, regardless of whether I get a response or not."
It's definitely a book to be read that can really impact your life. And it's only short, so definitely worth a read. I've only ever listened to it, but think I will most probably take so much more from it through reading it.
The Agreements are so simple when written down like this, but at times, not the easiest to stick to. So glad all of this came up for me so I could be reminded. 🙏🏼
Thank you as always for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I have so many of your posts to catch up on! I'll do that asap! x
Firstly, I’m sorry you are going through this disheartening experience with your neighbor. That is a difficult thing to have to face everyday. More power to you if you have the courage and capacity to still be kind and courteous. It upsets me that this person does not realize what she is missing out on by not being friends with you. Wish you were my neighbor!
Secondly, thank you for summarizing the Agreements! I’ve been meaning to read the book but haven’t had the chance. Now I know what kind of useful wisdom it contains. Thank you for sharing your journey of struggle, learning, and growth. It’s inspiring to witness!❤️
Loved this piece, Sabah 💖
