5th Agreement
Don Jose Ruiz at The Open Center on April 13, 2010 with me
Last month I had the opportunity to hear Don Jose Ruiz speak about toltec wisdom at The Open Center in New York City. Don Jose Ruiz co-authored the book, The Fifth Agreement, along with his father, Don Miguel Ruiz. Many of you may be familiar with Don Miguel Ruiz. He wrote the book, The Four Agreements and has been a bestseller ever since. I am a perpetual note take and here are some takeaways that I took from the lecture:
1.) Always do your best – action is where dreams are born.
2.) Unlearn your current belief system. Unprogram ourselves and the habits that we do not like.
3.) Be skeptical when you listen to others speak, especially when there is negativity involved.
4.) Awakened consciousness – be aware of what makes you unhappy and remove it.
5.) Believe in yourself 100%.
6.) Fall in love with yourself.
7.) Become enlightened – become aware.
8.) Speak your truth, speak your passion. Get a voice recorder and record your thoughts. Get to know the real and authentic you.
9.) We are perfect, just the way we are.
10.) Inspiration comes from our bodies, from spirit. Whatever inspiration you have, create it.

How wonderful you got to be with Don Jose Ruiz! The 5th Agreement is one of those books for me that I read over, and over, and over. These takeaway notes are such great reminders for us. Thanks so much!!

Oh, you are so welcome, Emily. Thanks for visiting my blog. I received your email. I will write you back soon.
I’ve never read this book, but it sounds like one I should put on my reading list! This is a great list – I really like numbers 5 & 6. These are all things that we need to remember on a daily basis.

It’s a great book. I really don’t have to read The Four Agreements first since Don Miguel reviews the book in the 5th Agreement. So glad you liked the list, Lori! It is good reminders for us when life is terrible.
