Food for Thougth 7 ~ WHO are YOU?

Each moment describes WHO you are & gives you the opportunity to decide if that's truly WHO you want to be.  All of our actions and words whether chosen consciously or not, are a reflection of WHO we are, our values our beliefs and what kind of person we are.
I have found the profound, yet simple guidelines of the Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz to be a great tool to lean into when I need the prompt to raise my awareness of how I am interacting with the world. 
Four Agreements 
  1. Be Impeccable with Your Word.
  2. Don't Take Anything Personally.
  3. Don't Make Assumptions.
  4. Always Do Your Best.
Often easier said than done, yet I encourage you to sit with each of these concepts.  Maybe start with first one, "Be impeccable with your word", dig deep!  What does that mean to you.  What would it feel like to live by this guideline?   Imagine yourself as always honest, (no white lies, no hiding truths), giving credit to others where due, kind and compassionate, not exaggerating or gossiping, owning when you're not impeccable with your words... WHO you are and how does it feel to be this WHO? 

How does this tie into Yoga?
Patanjali's Yoga Sutra's Chapter 2 the Yamas:
Satya – Purity of Speech and Truthfulness. 
The observance of satya, or truthfulness, means we speak the truth and live from a place of authenticity. We don’t deceive others, nor deceive ourselves.
We know ourselves at the deepest level and live from that place of WHO we are.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
How do your moments reflect WHO you are?
What could you do to more authentically show up as the WHO you want to be?
