The Four Agreements

March 18th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

I was cleaning my room today and I found a folded up piece of paper. I opened it up and read it - I don’t remember where I got it from or who gave it to me. This is what it said:

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.

    I’m glad you found it and read but most importantly that you enjoyed these few very simple words or food for thought son. I received that from a friend and I thought right away that these words were so refreshingly simple yet carried with each and every word such simplicity to live by for all and for any age, young and old alike. I never tire of reading it. I have it right in front of me by my desk to remind me some days how simple it is to follow.

    God Bless and have a fantastic Wednesday Salar!

    Love,
    Mom
