The Four Agreements Many years ago, I came upon a book by don Miguel Ruiz called, "The Four Agreements." It contained the secrets to a happier, healthier journey through life. Little could I have known that this one work would change my life forever. The first and forth agreements were easy because they were already a part of my personality. The second was the hardest. However, with diligence and patience, I've changed myself and my view of the world. It's enhanced my Christian walk immensely. Today, I would like to share this ancient Toltec wisdom with you. The Four Agreements are: 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. 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. 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. 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.  "If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster." — Isaac Asimov |
