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

All of our drama and suffering is by practice.

We judge others according to our image of
perfection as well, and naturally they fall short of our expectations.

The real you is still a little child who never grew up. Sometimes that little child comes out when you are having fun or playing, when you feel happy, when you are painting, or writing poetry, or playing the piano, or expressing yourself in some way. These are the happiest moments of your life – when the real you comes out, when you don’t care about the past and you don’t worry about the future. You are childlike. But there is something that changes all that: We call them responsibilities.
