The Four
Agreements 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 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 circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret. |
