The Four Agreements

I spotted these last week and knew they were worthy of sharing.

The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz

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 dreams.
• 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, simple do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
