Happy Monday!
This week’s book is
It is an absolute masterclass on our everyday relationships. Definitely worth a read!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 51 seconds.
Here’s my top 10 takeaways:
Artist
You are who you are because of what you believe about yourself.
All your reality, everything you believe, is the product of your own creation.
2. Dependence
If you take your happiness and put it in someone's hands, sooner or later, they will break it.
If you give your happiness to someone else, they can always take it with them.
3. Perspective
We do not have the right to change anyone and no one has the right to change us. If we change it will be because we want to change.
No matter how much you love someone, you will never be what that person wants you to be.
4. Your Part
If you know that you are only responsible for half of the relationship, you will easily control your half.
It is not for us to control the other half.
5. First: Us
We will not be able to love others until we love ourselves.
The relationship you have with yourself is reflected in your relationships with others.
6. Need
When we start a relationship, we become selfish because we feel needed.
We want someone who needs me in order to feel that our existence is justified, in order to feel that we have a reason to live.
7. Plenty Of Fish
If one person doesn't love you, another will love you. There is always someone else.
Just because someone rejects you doesn't mean you have to reject yourself.
8. Self-Truth
The mind perceives things as they are, but due to all the programming and all the beliefs that we have, we make interpretations of what we perceive, what we hear and above all, what we see.
When you are true to yourself, you begin to see things as they are and not as you want them to be.
9. Rejection
We have the need to justify everything: to make everything good or bad, right or wrong, when things simply are the way they are, period.
When you reject another person, you reject them for the same reasons you reject yourself.
10. Belief
Our own fears limit our possibilities.
You are what you think you are.
“From the moment we are able to accept ourselves as we are, all changes are possible.”
— Don Miguel Ruiz
