I've written an article every day for the past 500 days.

Part of me thinks that not everyone has a song to sing or a story to tell. The other part thinks they're likely ignoring it.

@iiTzAayush I'd rather be ignored that her default to me while she's thinking about the ghost.

There's a quote from @naval that says,

"If it hurts to hear it, look for the truth in it. If it comforts to hear it, look for the lie in it." 🧵

Mastery of ourselves, including our emotions, is invaluable and within reach. It’s easy to be offended, but does it make us better off?

Revering our words and others' as the force they are opens a new world. Being kinder in acts, conversation, and thought benefits not just others but also our self-speak. We know ourselves best, so speaking kindly to ourselves is crucial.

The four agreements aren’t an excuse to hide or feel sorry for ourselves. They are a call to be accountable, responsible, and kind with our words.

"Your word can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can destroy everything around you."

The power of our words is immense, and a simple "I'm sorry" can seem futile after the worst has been said. We must be mindful.

The Four Agreements - Be Impeccable with Your Word

The book shines because its concepts are simple & relatable. It describes unbecoming behavior and why we engage in it, but doesn’t use the "why" as an excuse. True desire leads to the work & the work leads to results. 🧵

The biggest takeaway is that everything we say is for ourselves. Compliments make us feel good indirectly, and insults come from a place of misery. So, why let others' words hurt us if they come from their own pain?
