The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz's code for life
Agreement 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.
Agreement 2
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.
Agreement 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.
Agreement 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.
