The Four Agreements

I just recently barrowed a book from a friend that was rather insightful. It is called "The Four Agreements", and is written by Don Miguel Ruiz. It is a practical guide to personal freedom. It is an inspiring book that helps you identify self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy, happiness, and often times destructive habits of thinking. Don Miguel Ruiz's basis is on the Toltec Wisdom, the Four Agreements offer a code of conduct that can transform your life for the better by leading a happier, to live a new experience of freedom, and love. I enjoyed this book because is definitly something that I could improve on, now I just need to apply it day by day.


I can't post the whole book but I will post The Four Agreements.


BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using words 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 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.

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-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.
