I highly recommend Ruiz&#39;s works. They have definitely had a major impact on the way I live my life, and how I approach my journey toward bliss. In addition to The Four Agreements, I also like his books The Mastery of Love and Beyond Fear.AnalieseMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18107016553728679066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771276118534453166.post-51531222465227938722009-12-02T21:24:48.718-05:002009-12-02T21:24:48.718-05:00this is a great post, and The Four Agreements really does &quot;shift&quot; the way you see things.

And I loved the info from the 4 agreements, which I have not read and now want to! :)<br /><br />Debra -- Yep. I think that was the essence of Analiese&#39;s point -- that often these rules are just that, stupid. And even more often, rules DO need to be broken.Christine Claire Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06493217175737227097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771276118534453166.post-21404004645580055282009-12-02T08:36:34.035-05:002009-12-02T08:36:34.035-05:00Excellent post and so very true! The only other thing I would add is that sometimes Rules are stupid and harmful and NEED to be broken! The trick is in knowing which ones.Debra She Who Seekshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771276118534453166.post-57716391000992568362009-12-02T08:30:57.560-05:002009-12-02T08:30:57.560-05:00thank you for sharing!jellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02433699256471235713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771276118534453166.post-44970737783519902592009-12-02T07:52:28.320-05:002009-12-02T07:52:28.320-05:00Shining a light on things can be so important!
