About This Quote
In this quote from the book The Four Agreements , Don Miguel Ruiz teaches us to stand alone when it is to our benefit, with others when it is to our advantage, and with everyone when it is to our empowerment. We often hear the term "stand alone." It's a common phrase that's used to describe a person who chooses confrontation over cooperation. Some people hear the word and imagine a lone soldier or a lone superhero. What don Miguel Ruiz is telling us is that there are times when we must go it alone.
But, he also says that there are times when we must work with others. And, finally, there are times when we must work with everyone around us.
