4 Rules to Live By
This is all you need to practice in order to find your way... to your self, to love, to your soul mate, and to your destiny.
These are also known as the 4 rules of negotiation or peace making, and can be applied to ANY relationship or situation to bring about the highest good for all concerned, ALWAYS.
Be present
Listen
Tell the truth
Release attachment to the outcome
Explanation:
To be present you must show up. You must be willing to participate in the solution.
To listen is to HEAR what is being said by the other person. If you are too busy thinking about what you think you need to say next, in order to make things go your way, you are not listening. You are only paying attention to your own thoughts. You are not being present, and are not participating in the solution.
To tell the truth is to communicate how you REALLY feel at a heart (soul) level, regardless of what may or may not happen. The truth will set you free.
If you are attached to the outcome, you will not be capable of doing 1-3. Attachment is selfishness, not love. Love is acceptance and allowance of the other person to be who they really are, and to do what they feel is right for them at a heart level. After all, isn't that what you want from them in return, the freedom to be who you are, and to be accepted unconditionally? You must give that which you wish to receive. Don't you want someone to be present, to listen, and to tell you the truth no matter what, to accept your decision, even if it's not what they want from you?
