I was introduced to Mr. Ruiz through his bestselling book, The Four Agreements. The statements from the book have stayed a part of my life from The Four Agreements:
1. Be impeccable with your word.

DMR: Life is teaching every single moment. We all are actors; life is giving to us every single mystery, even if you do not know you are acting.
VBS: You quote for Day 4, Shakespeare “All the world is a stage, and all the men and women are merely player.”
