Always do your best.

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is a book that I absolutely love. Since discovering it a few years ago I've read and re-read it several times when needed and it always reinvigorates me. 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. 

A summer cold has given me a run for my money and tested my patience with the last agreement over the last few days, but I've forced myself to give myself a break and know that right now the 80% that I'm running on will just have to do. The book tells us that your best will change from day to day and all you can really expect of yourself is to do your best with what you have each day. So join me in giving yourself a break if you're just not feeling great... after all, you deserve it!
