1. Be impeccable with your word.
Say what you need to say. No more, no less. Don’t intentionally hurt people. Don’t lead them on. Don’t say un-truths. When it’s time to say it, say it. Don’t say more than you need to. I have to tell you this right now.
2. Always do your best.
Today, your best may be here. Tomorrow it may be some place else. At this time, on this day, do your best. Do the best you can do, in all that you do. Today you can do the splits, tomorrow you may not be able to. Just do the best you can for the current situation, current activity, current “thing.”
3. Don’t take anything personally.
The things people say to you have nothing to do with you. It’s where he or she is coming from. Good or bad, don’t take it personally. It’s true when they say, “It’s not you, it’s me.” It has something to do with them, not you. When someone says something mean or hurtful to you, it has to do with what’s going on behind them. It truly is what’s going on with me. I’ve got my own shit to work out. Really and truly.
4. Don’t make assumptions.
Can’t assume something. Can’t assume you know until they tell you. Can’t assume they know what you mean. Can’t assume to understand. This is not about you.
