Remynder to Self

From The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz, a constant source of "correctional" inspiration: "To be impeccable with my words" (paraphrased).

  • To say what I mean and to mean what I say; simply put, just be honest when communicating with others.

Communication has oftentimes been awkward for me, whether caused by fear, low self-esteem, feeling foolish, or not believing deeply in what I have to share.

I go within when what I really need to do is share my soul with another. Today, I seek the freedom "to be impeccable with my words". Amen.
