The result of practicing the fifth agreement is the complete acceptance of yourself just the way you are, and the complete acceptance of everybody el… - Don Miguel Ruiz

People who love us do black magic on us, but they don’t know what they do. That is why we must forgive them; they don’t know what they do.

That is why we need a great deal of courage to challenge our own beliefs. Because even if we know we didn’t choose all these beliefs, it is also true that we agreed to all of them. The agreement is so strong that even if we understand the concept of it not being true, we feel the blame, the guilt, and the shame that occur if we go against these rules.

It is when we lose control that we repress the emotions, not when we are in control.
