Everything we do is
based on agreements we have made - agreements with ourselves,
with other people, with God, with life. But the most important
agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these
agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is
possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not such a
problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear,
deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth."
"In these
agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is
possible, what is impossible."
In this powerful
book that has remained on The New York Times Bestseller
List
for over eight years, don Miguel reveals the source of
self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless
suffering. When we are ready to change these agreements, there
are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can
adopt as guiding principles. The Four Agreements® offer a
powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to
a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
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.
