ZM Happy floral friday,
Today’s lesson comes from The Four Agreements — specifically the second one: Don’t Take Anything Personally. The card says, “Become immune to poison,” and honestly, it hits.

Because most of the “poison” in our lives isn’t from big betrayals or shocking insults — it’s the low-grade gossip, the assumptions, the tiny jabs we carry too long. It’s that one weird look someone gave you on a call that somehow derailed your whole day. But when we let those moments pass through us instead of letting them land, everything shifts.

The quote says, “The whole world can gossip about you, and if you don’t take it personally, you are immune.” That line stays with me. Immunity in the middle of hell — not because hell isn’t hot, but because we stop flinching every time it gets loud.

So here’s the challenge: next time that shade or side comment comes in, don’t absorb it. Let it go. Build the boundary inside, not outside. Not everyone’s words are worth processing.

Read the book if you haven’t. And if you have — read it again. It’s that kind of truth.
