New Agreements for Living: Interview with Don Miguel Ruiz Jr
SS: And is this how can we attain true freedom? By letting go?
MRJ: I believe that we acquire freedom when we become aware that in our hands is the power of our intent. When I say ‘yes’ and something will be done, and I say ‘no’ and it won’t be done. When I become aware that this is the power that I have, I am free.?When we say to ourself that we love ourself unconditionally, that we accept who we are at this very moment, we are saying that at this very moment in life, this is who I am. The person that I used to be even a day ago doesn’t exist anymore because it is the past and the future is the consequence of my action now, so everything that is real is only at this very moment.?By knowing that you have the capacity to change as long as you are alive, everything becomes possible. To accept that in yourself and to take full responsibility of that, that is freedom.
