Spirited Essence Works

My mom sent me two books a couple weeks ago. I’ve had more time lately to read while waiting on the baby to arrive. They are pretty quick reads, but the messages they stated were so inspiring. The concepts make you reevaluate the way you live your life and make you change for the better. Both books are by Miguel Ángel Ruiz and his son, Jose Ruiz, co-authors the “The Fifth Agreement: The Practical Guide to Self-Mastery.”

The first book I read was “The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom” by Miguel Ángel Ruiz. In this book, you discover four ways to live your life to help create a personal heaven in the world today. The four agreements are:

1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don’t take anything personally.
3. Don’t make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.

The way Ruiz explains each agreement makes it easy to grasps each concept. He also explains each agreement with real life examples that show how easy it is to change the way you live your life.

The second book was The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery” by Miguel Ángel Ruiz, Jose Ruiz, and Janet Mills. In this book it goes over the four agreements again with new concepts of how to look at each agreement. Then, dives into the idea of be skeptical but listen! This agreement uses doubt as a tool to find the true messages that are presented to you on a daily basis. Once you are able to master each one of these agreements. You have truly created a heaven on earth for yourself.

These books has changed my outlook on life for the better. It is challenging to commit to these agreements and it will take time to master each one. But in the end, I think if I can master these agreements, it will be well worth it. I hope you give these books a glance and I hope they change your life for the better as much as they have mine.
