Don Miguel Ruiz

He's a Mexican shaman whose book has transformed millions of lives worldwide. His message? There's one invisible habit that's silently destroying everything good in your life... Here's how to identify it (& stop it from ruining your future): 🧵 https://x.com/mchale_in_flow/status/1960326452404162948

OBE changed everything
We're trapped by "agreements" we made with ourselves
The most destructive agreement? Taking things personally. When someone criticizes you, ignores you, or treats you poorly, you assume it's about YOU. But Ruiz discovered something revolutionary...
Nothing others do is because of you. Their actions are a projection of their own reality, their own pain, their own conditioning.
When you take things personally, you're literally poisoning yourself with someone else's emotional garbage.
Step 1: Create "second labels" When someone is rude, pause and think: "They're tired, stressed, or dealing with their own pain." This isn't about you - it's about their internal state.
Step 2: Don't make assumptions. We assume that when people say or do something, they mean what we think they mean.
Step 3: Know your worth isn't determined by others' opinions. You are not the story others tell about you. You're not even the story YOU tell about yourself. You are the observer, capable of choosing your response to any situation.
you can break free through: Awareness → Detachment → Design → Discipline. -> Flow
