The Four Agreements
Posted on | October 6, 2003 | No Comments
This is outstanding, a book that I have read in “skimming” fashion, thoughts was good, but now upon reflection I did a disservice by not fully reading it and learning from it…
So I bring it up again to myself and make this a “sticking point” so I embody it more into my daily life.
Be Impeccable With Your Word
– Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your words in the direction of truth and love.
Don’t Take Anything Personally
– Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
Don’t Make Assumptions
– Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. Wit just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Always Do Your Best
– Your best is going to change from moment to moment, it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstances, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
The
Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is a Practical Guide to Personal Freedom and a worthy read to add to personal wisdom, an amazing book
