Fail-safe

There is a First Agreement that obviates the need for any other agreement. And it is this: I agree to be guided from within.

“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”

More or less

What we are inclined to do, let us do more of. What we are disinclined to do, let us do less of. Inclinations and disinclinations—these are soul-speak, a language without a vocabulary.

Not this, not that

Wisdom is not knowing what to do; it’s knowing what not to do.

The first agreement

The first agreement is: I agree to be guided from within.
