You have to learn how to recognize people for who they are.
Rule # 1 – People do what they want to do, when they want to do it, 100% of the time!
Rule # 2 – 95% of people are out for their own self interest!
Rule # 3 – Learn 1 and 2 and you don’t need a rule # 3 when it comes down to dealing with people!
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
Agreement # 1 – Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the POWER of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Agreement # 2 – Don’t Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to
the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
Agreement # 3 – Don’t Make Assumption
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Agreement # 4 – Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place. -Lao Tzu
With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose. – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Knowledge Is Your Weapon Use It Wisely
