  • Awesome truth!

  • Thank you much, I appreciate this one truely, it's true, every one peace is dreaming his own life in his own mind That's why I always felt something's not right in my life, now I know, I am the only one who is able to look through my eyes and every single word a person speaks is according to himself, not to me, and I made the mistake to take everthing personal so that I took any problem of others on my shoulders and one day I broke down und died therefore necessarily to find out who "I" am
  • Nice video. Very true. When we stop taking everything and everyone seriously we gain a freedom and happiness most people don't think possible. It's about freeing your mind.

  • to me it is about... "circumstances don't matter, only my state of being matters" and then choosing your state of being (feelings) regardless of what you perceive to be happening around you -Bashar

  • I love the message in this video. I have to watch it with the sound off because the music seems to disrupt my energy balance. The message, however, is beautiful!

  • We each of us have to take responsibility for our own thoughts, actions and ultimately reactions. "Don't take anything personally" means you will find when most people are cruel, nasty or vindictive the anger is possibly more to do with themselves and their pain, unhappiness and inability to cope with certain situations. Karma - what you give out you get returned. It's a very simple concept but at times difficult to put into practice. "Unfeeling Robot"? No - Loving Human Being? - Yes.

  • THAT SONG WAS AWESOME!

  • Now, don't take this personally Clarybel, but in reality you're not a we, & I'm not living in a dream world, regardless what you imagine. While it's easy not to be hurt by what others say about you, what they do actually can. When another person decides they're gonna' do you some harm, you'd better be prepared to defend yourself - unless you're ready to die, & that's no lie at all. Try to think it through logically, & you may understand the truth.

  • Lovely music and wonderful message about each of us....let us follow it and see the results!!!

  • Lovely, I like this reflection. I would love to know what you think about my videos/poetry, please visit my channel and comment.

  • Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this.

  • This is a wonderful and important video. ThanQ............

  • Wonderful message and images, Claire. Thank you so much for this beautiful creation.

  • @mausolos8-you missed the point there...empathy is not about listening to others moaning,or whatever the ''problem'' is...that doesn't help anyone..the only way you can help people is to share your own happiness.,as it rubs off on others.(in a nutshell)

  • I take my divorce quite personal...

  • -Suffering for nothing?Surely we must not shut off our feelings from others, but go towards them in their suffering.- That way we both learn.

  • I'd LOVE to see the other 'agreements' have you done them as well?

  • It is not about being an unfeeling robot, or ignoring your (or others') emotional state(s). It's about refusing to let others' emotional states (especially poisonous ones) wound your own. If you let others' emotional poison hurt you, you then tend to inflict that poison on still more people. If you refuse to let it poison you ("don't take it personally"), then the hurt stops there, and you might even be able to help the one who would have hurt you.

  • @uumlau it says dont take ANYTHING personally.that implies EVERYTHNG

  • @Xenobia10 Yes, but "everything" still doesn't mean you don't deal with feelings. You can deal with your child's cries even as you don't take the crying personally: you'd become an emotional wreck if you did. It doesn't mean you don't empathize with your child, or that you don't show caring. Rather, it means you become a pillar of emotional strength to help your child grow. That's the opposite of avoiding feelings. The same concept applies with adults, though its form differs.

  • @uumlau What you say has some merit but is not in context with the message given in the video.

  • @mausolos8 It's entirely in context, as I attempt to clarify what is said. It's easy to conflate "not being hurt" with ignoring feelings. Read the last line: it combines having an open heart with not being hurt. It's almost contradictory: shouldn't having an open heart lead to more hurt? But it's true. A truly open heart takes nothing personally, not even oneself, and is capable of loving oneself and others without being hurt. It's not a contradiction, but an elemental truth of the heart.

  • @uumlau -I interpret what this video is saying at face value. It is NOT what you interpret. This video takes emotional maturity and common sense and goes too far with it. It promotes seperation and emotional distance. This at a time when people need their "humanity" more than ever.

  • @mausolos8 Have you ever read the source material? The video isn't quoting directly, but does use the "dream" and "agreement" metaphors of Ruiz's teachings. The metaphor isn't meant to enforce separation, but to describe a real barrier: our often poisonous subjective ideas. To not take oneself personally doesn't mean to not listen to one's conscience, but rather to not listen to the lies one habitually tells oneself. Doing so leaves one's heart open to hear one's conscience.

  • @uumlau -I have not read the source material. I will do so..........I understand and agree with what you are saying.........Although I do not feel that this video conveyed the point you are making, too well. There are several passages that are easily open to misinterpretation. Looking over some of the comments by viewers ,this seems to be the case. In this era of impersonal communication many people have chosen seperation. This is unfortunate........Thank you for your efforts to clarify..

  • @mausolos8 Thank you for the wonderful conversation! :) I find it valuable to see how others differently interpret things such as this, and I appreciate the chance to pause and reflect.

  • @uumlau -You are welcome. I also enjoy exchanging thoughts and idea's with others. Thanks:)

  • amazing beautiful and so true  thanks

  • very beautiful video!! thank you for sharing.

  • I am a great fan of Ruiz. All four of the agreements are dynamic and important but they have to be practised in total to be the most effective. It is humbling how they can change your life when applied with consistancy. I have a copy of the Four Agreements with me all the time and pass out copies to others.

  • As example, don't take it personally with those who disliked this video!

  • Awesome video!

  • This is helpful in keeping an open heart and letting go of hurt

  • Thank you for sharing

    Wonderful viveo

  • Great video :-)))

    Thank You !

  • Very nice job, thank you.

  • All I know is you bring me comfort This Day, in This Way with words that speak to me and bring peace. Thank you for this gift, my friend. Namaste

  • While I do agree with your philosophy, I don’t think that we should allow someone to be abusive to ourselves. For example, if a person is in an abusive relationship, while the abuser is indeed the person with the problem, that doesn’t mean we should just ignore it and keep allowing the abuser to do it. Don’t take it personally, but walk away.

  • @IQsFoodMusicandArt -I agree with you 100%. We have a responsibility to ourselves and others to not be abusive to others and at the same time to not allow others to abuse us or others........... I feel that to embrace life and its lessons, we need to be present in the moment. Which for me means life is VERY personal.....Just my opinion for what it's worth.

  • @mausolos8 I agree

  • Hi Clarybel! Great work my friend! The Four Agreements are the best! -Tom

  • ¸.• ❤. •´☀¸.• ❤. •´

    thank you so much

  • I do not think the wording is deceiving because it feels right. There have been many times in the past I have taken things personally and discovered that people forget! All you have to do is see the way you feel the day after an argument, to know how ones feelings can alter. We are but rain and shine, clouds and blue sky. Life is too short to take things personally if we are sure of what is in our own heart. This does not mean we cannot stand up and defend ourselves however.

  • i just think the wording of this can be deceiving...but the point is there

  • this is neither ignoring hurt nor 'confronting' it. you can't change others (whether they're willing or not). the only power you have over is yourself. everything is connected; if you let negativity take control, it will affect you and especially your actions, and inevitably your relationship with others; if you don't, your intentions, actions and relationships will only have room for growth and positivity.

  • @mi2c20 this is at least my view

  • basically/in the end, you are the only one responsible for your reactions and actions. it is alright to react and/or act. it is alright to be hurt or even take something personally, but the bigger picture, will you take what hurt/affected you to heart?; will you bottle in that hurt or negative feeling, even if that came from your own thoughts (ie. expectations of yourself, guilt, etc...)

  • When you take nothing personally, you are being blindfolding your mind and separating YOURSELF from the outside world. Not the other way around. You are essentially shutting out the world, and that is bad.

    There is nothing wrong with taking things personally, especially if you know how to pick out what's true and false yourself. For that is a talent worth working towards, not complete ignorance. If you don't take anything personally, you are just setting yourself up for a problems.

  • Just a little thought... "Nothing other people do is because of you. It's because of themselves." If that's true, it's also true that people don't act kindly because of you, but because of themselves. That means you shouldn't feel hurt nor liked due to what other people say or do. Maybe that is so...I've always wondered about that.

  • I loved this video, i usualy take everything to heart and i have lost friendships because of it, thank you for sharing i found this video very empowering

  • Great video, message and song. Way to go Claire!! <3 AC

  • I really enjoyed the message in this video... it is an enlightened way to look at things... I do have to ask though, there are very hurtful people out there, manipulators who can read a person and for negative reasons choose to hurt a person with thier words... you are targeted with this, and you know it is a hit on you... it's hard to keep emotion out of a response to that... even though you know they are doing it because of their own pain.

  • Excellent video and music! 

  • you do not understand....

  • Incredible video! My darling you are very talented!

    Kissssss, Guedes

    FAV.

  • Nice video. However I feel that this information is very disempowering. If I understand correctly. You are saying that people should depersonalize our interactions with others in order to avoid our feelings being hurt. Is not empathy and caring for others more important than our own feelings ? Isn't learning to "deal" with feelings (ours and others) a part of our spiritual evolution ? Our emotions are what make us human......and special. I for one do not want to be an unfeeling robot !

  • @mausolos8 I think you misinterpreted. Empathy and caring for others is one thing & very valuable. This is about realising that everyone is on their own journey and reacts to things via their own filters & belief systems. There is no one right & wrong way - don't let someone's opinion of you change the way you see yourself. I find that very empowering.

  • @robrec0rd -This video promotes seperation in the worst possible ways. It even states at 1:37 to not "take whatever you hear in your own mind personally". This is called a "conscience". It is our inner voice. Without it we become less than human and stunt our own evolution. You can sugarcoat it any way you like but if you read the text as it is written. Then this video is profoundly wrong.

  • @mausolos8 if i'm ever in a situation where i get accused or talked to in a way where I am made to feel responsible for something I didn't do or for someone else's mood I can feel really guilty about that even if the problem had nothing to do with me. It's really important to understand that everyone lives in their own world and that the things they say are more to do with them than to do with whoever they are talking to. True compassion comes from honest understanding. Peace. Dimuthu.

  • @mausolos8 Yea exactly but this is a philosophy, an idea, and it all has to be taken with a grain of salt. Its basically saying to disregard peoples comments or thoughts about you that dont know who you really are because they are irrelevant and wont make a difference in your life anyway, so dont take it upon yourself.

  • @mausolos8 I agree to an extent. I have been re-evaluating my life with the problems around me and asking myself questions like "how am I apart of this problem" and "what is my solution?" Same goes for culteral wounding and war! The many problems that society creates, we are apart of by simply participating with the current unsustainable model! Yet we can't go around doing that effectively if we take everything personally. This is where I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle ground!

  • @aPowerfulTech -You make a valid point. Perhaps I overstated my point . But I still feel that there is a fine line here that needs to be avoided. Otherwise we have seperation. For me, avoiding seperation is a priority. Trying to understand each other is another priority. If we shut our own emotions down or minimize them, we risk dehumanizing ourselves in the process. I hope that I am adequately communicating my point. It is so easy for us to misunderstand each other. Thanks.

  • @mausolos8 i feel EXACTLY THE SAME! we live in a ME ME ME ON TV world.evryone's sooo detached,aloof and full of shit-ON THE OUTSIDE! yet they fall apart and become psychotic eventually bc all creatures need eachother.its only humans that are so sel-absorbed as to believe that the fuckng world revolves around us! lets face it,WE WANT CONTACT,WE CRAVE APPROVAL & WHEN WE WALK INTO THE MF ROOM,WE WANT SOMEONE 2SAY,"HEYYY,YOU CAME!!"

  • @Xenobia10 -You make some very good points yourself about human feelings and emotional needs. They hold true especially in this day and age when technology causes us to communicate in so many impersonal ways. Thank you for your reply. Its good to know that some people "get it".

  • @mausolos8 = it's about taking responsibility for yourself and your own emotional state. How can you possibly be responsible for everyone else's feelings and actions?

  • @mausolos8

    It's so empowering!

    I think you've got it all wrong my friend...

    What it's saying is that it doesn't matter what others think about you.

    The only thing that's important is what you believe about yourself.

    It's your world, why let it be affected by others? That's insane..

  • Taking things personally definitely causes unnecessary suffering. Very beautiful and thought provoking video! Peace2U, Alex

  • super CooL THANKs SLONECZKO

  • Thank you for this insight. Other tangential thoughts could be; keep everything at the level of idea. We are in no position, in our tiny box of consciousness, to believe anything. Thomas Aquinas said "You must believe to understand". This is completely backwards because "You must understand to believe". Belief without proof is like gambling. Belief with proof, is called "knowing". Self esteem is a game where there are only losers. The real winners, refuse to play. Stair stepping to real freedom.
