Prompt Prepared Positive Polite and More

P Words have Positive Powers

During our Book Club gathering we explored the New York Times Best Seller, The Four Agreements. On the last week for this book we each summarized their messages and our perspective on how they may influence us positively for our future.

Be Impeccable with Your Word.
Don't Take Anything Personally.
Don't Make Assumptions.
Do Your Personal Best.

Then we took it further, as one of our Club participants and a retired school teacher of over 30 years shared the 4 P's she introduced as she started every school year. She posted and directly told her wide eyed students, "follow my guidelines of these P words and you won't be sent to the Principal's office". I'm sure they paid extra attention that day.

So easy! If only I would have been offered these same requirements I would have spared myself many dreaded walks to the office as misaligned student.

PROMPT
PREPARED
POSITIVE
POLITE

Typical for me, I later pondered (another P word!) each of these and then thought of some others that would be good guiding words.

For instance, Powerful, Passionate, Perceptive, Productive, Purposeful, Persistent, Perseverance, Playful, Proactive, Patient (challenge for me sometimes), and Peaceful Peacemaker.

So as I prepare for days ahead to present a better version of me in the future, I will think about many of these P words that may lead me with more focused intention.

What words most resonate with you? Are there any "P" words you would like to add?

Join us next month in the beautiful outdoors when we welcome our next read, the follow up book, The Fifth Agreement, by Don Miquel Ruiz and his son, Don Miquel Ruiz.
We meet Mondays at 1:30pm at Estero Community Park on Corkscrew Road after our noon yoga class. Join us for class or meet in the park under the pavilion.

Always an Explorer,
