Today our featured guest is don Jose Ruiz who coauthored The Fifth Agreement with his father don Miguel Ruiz. He's dedicated his life to sharing the ancient Toltec wisdom by translating it into practical, everyday life concepts that promote transformation through truth, love and common sense.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Toltec tradition is based on gratitude to be alive
The Four Agreements
Be impeccable with your word
Don't take anything personally
Don't make assumptions
Always do your best
The most challenging of The Four Agreements
The Fifth Agreement
Be skeptical, but learn to listen
Being skeptical doesn't necessarily have a negative connotation
Real happiness lies within you
We all perceive the same things in life, differently
We've been domesticated and how to reverse this
There are two languages being spoken in this world... positivity and negativity
Life is a vacation, how are you going to spend your vacation?
You can never walk away from yourself
You're the love of your life
We're all artists, creating art, whether you're aware of it or not
