After Reading The 4 Agreements for The Fourth Time - Here are 4 Key Points
These 4 simple agreements based on Toltec Wisdom in the book written by Don Miguel Ruiz of the same name, will transform your life. I love this little book.
Here are the agreements:
As humans, our ability to speak is what separates us from all other living creatures. We must use our word for good. Our word also refers to our self-talk, and we must not speak badly against ourselves either.
What others say and do is about them. Everyone is struggling with a problem that you know nothing about. Understand that others are perceiving what happens from their own perspective. This will free you from suffering created by your mind and your ego. It's not always about you, it's about them!
Asking for clarification and asking for what you want and need and what other people want and need is the simplest, most honest form of communication. Asking releases you from uneccessary drama and suffering. Assuming things is creating stories in your mind that aren't true. Find out the truth by asking.
By always doing the best you can do, you feel good about yourself. You know you gave it all you had. This is important because it means you have a good relationship with yourself and everything you do stems from that.
