The Four Agreements



The Four Agreements

Taken from the book by Don Miguel Ruiz

Rules for Life


*************


Do you follow these rules? Ask yourself.


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 word 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 Assumption. Find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.




Always do your best. Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self judgment, self abuse and regret?
