The most recent book that I read that has absolutely changed my way of thinking is called The Four Agreements written by don Miguel Ruiz.
The next three Sundays will list the remaining three agreements and give a little snippet about each one :-)
(I have decided that I am going to share a quote from the chapter and the information from the inside panel so that I don't give away any juicy information!)
I would absolutely recommend this book! I have been wanting to do a little personal make-over recently, so this book really helped me!

The Four Agreements written by don Miguel Ruiz shows its readers what self-limiting beliefs we have that restrict us of experiencing joy and creates suffering. The Agreements are based on Toltex wisdom which offer powerful codes of conduct that can allow us to experience freedom, true happiness and love.
I hope that you all have the opportunity to read this book, and if not, please read my posts because they really do help :-)

Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
"You take it personally because you agree with whatever was said. As soon as you agree, the poison goes through you, and you are trapped"
"Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves."
This week, do your best not to take things personally. It is so much easier said than done, I know this! Remember that when you find yourself taking something seriously to remember that it isn't about you, it is about them.
Enjoy your Sunday!
Enjoy your Sunday!

I will definitley be on the search for this book!
I believe a lot of my depression is due to the fact that I take everything said and done in my "circle" and let it fester until it is somehow my fault...
Thanks for the reccomendation. Hope you're having a great weekend as well!
Wow- something I needed to hear. "Don't take anything personally" is not quite the war cry of the abandoned, but perhaps the more I see it, the more I can believe it.
Thank you for this post, and I am already thumbing my way through Amazon to order that book...
Happy Sunday, darlin....
