The Cancer of Optimism

The Cancer of Optimism:

This article should have been labeled more like our inability to face end of life care. We just don’t want people to die. A very controversial topic especially in the United States where dying has always been something we don’t ever want to face let alone face the medical facts that someone will die due to their illness.

Unrelenting optimism can be more harmful to patients than disease.

"1. Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word..."

Fri, 03 May 2013 12:31:28 -0400

“

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.

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.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions: 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.

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.

”

- Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
