The Four Agreements
A few months ago, I picked up this book, The Four Agreements. The things in the book really stood out and make a whole lot of sense to me and I found myself wanting to use these “4 Agreement” in my life. I copied them and posted them on my desk…the desk I no longer use, but had to the past week due to some computer issues. Anyhow, back to these agreements…I find that these can be used in so many different situations in life and I hope they will benefit you as much as they do me.
1. 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.
2. DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others day 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.
3. 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. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. 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 circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self abuse and regret.
