Rev. Patrick speaks about the Third Agreement---don't make assumptions. When we make assumptions, we go astray from what is true. Perhaps we get caught up in our own opinion, a story, something we learned as children, or in society. Assumptions have to do with what we believe. Truth is whatever is freeing.
Don Miguel Ruiz emphasizes not believing what others tell us, or what we tell ourselves. Instead, learn to listen and pick out whatever is valuable in the words we are hearing.
Embody the simple ideas. Anything is possible. To believe otherwise is to believe a story someone told us. Perfection is this moment. Many of us have misconceptions about what's perfect---in reality, perfection is right now, today, us exactly as we are now.
