Chapter 5: Four Rules to Live By
It ALL boils down to these 4 simple rules to live by. Following them will lead you to your soulmate, self love, and happiness.
These 4 rules to live by are all you need to know and practice in order to find your way in life. They are also the 4 rules of negotiation or peace-making and can be applied to any relationship or situation to always bring about the highest good for everyone involved.
1. Be present
2. Listen
3. Tell the Truth
4. Release Attachment to the Outcome
Explanation:
Being present means showing up and being willing to be part of the solution. You have to be willing to hear the other party out.
Listening is truly hearing what someone is trying to tell you. You are not listening when you are thinking about what you should say next, so that you can manipulate the situation towards your own end goal.
Telling the truth is communicating how you really feel at a heart (soul) level, regarless of what you fear may be the result. The truth will always set you free, even if telling it is scary, so just muster up the courage to do it!
Releasing attachment to the outcome is having faith, letting go and being willing to accept whatever happens as being for the best. If you are attached to how things turn out, you will not be able to do steps 1, 2, or 3. Attachment is selfishness, love is acceptance. You must allow others to be who they truly are and give them the emotional and physical freedom to do what they feel is right for them at a heart level.
After all, aren’t these four things what YOU really want from others, for them to be there for you, to listen to you, to always tell you the truth about how they really feel, and to be willing to accept whatever you say is right for you, even if it’s not what they want from or for you? You must be willing to give to others what you wish to receive.
Start practicing these 4 rules to live by and see how quickly things turn around for the better in your life!
