59. Apology

“The four Agreements”: always do your best, don’t take it personally, do not make assumptions and be impeccable with your word.

When I do my best I often don’t do what others expect. When I don’t take it personally, others sometimes think that I don’t care. When I don’t make assumptions, I don’t assume that somebody is hurt when it is not accurate. When I don't have knowledge of language and culture I often offended people like a “bull in a China shop”.

I feel everyone follows their path of Reiki. Even though I may not like it or I don’t agree with it, I will fight for your right to have your own path, your own opinion.

I’ve made assumptions and I've not always said what I really needed to, because of my shyness or because I feel like I won’t be taken seriously.

For all these times when I’ve transgressed, have entered your space unwillingly and uninvited, where I’ve offended you in some way, where my loyalty to my Master has caused you pain because it’s different from what you have learned is Reiki, for all these things I want to ask your forgiveness because it wasn’t my intention, it’s not the way I hold you. Without you I wouldn’t be who I am today.
