FOUR AGREEMENTS


Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid 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 is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you wont 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 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.

Every now and then I like to revisit 'The Four Agreements' (1997) by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book has helped me align myself accordingly and has taught me about living purposefully and stress free.
