Creditor. One of a tribe of savages dwelling beyond the Fina

Summary

This quote is a humorous and satirical description of a creditor, suggesting that they are like a savage tribe that lives in a distant and uncharted territory known as the Financial Straits. The reference to their "desolating incursions" implies that creditors can have a negative impact when they come after individuals or businesses to collect debts. This playful explanation serves as a lighthearted critique of the role of creditors in the financial world.

Our words, our thoughts, and our feelings all contribute to

Our words, our thoughts, and our feelings all contribute to the creation of our reality. Our word is a two-edged sword, it can create or it can destroy. To be impeccable is to create with conscious awareness and love. Ruiz also makes the point that our perceptions of others are merely reflections of ourselves. Therefore, to put another down or project negative words or energy towards another person, is to lash out at the other person because of our own insecurities. The human mind is fertile ground for the seeds that are our word. So plant the seeds of love, not fear. Judging, blaming, shaming, and especially gossiping create poison in ourselves and others. This agreement alone is enough to break all of your old agreements and change the dream of your life.
