The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Th inspirational words of don Miguel Ruiz resonate deeply in this inspiring book, The Four Agreements, that remained on the New York Times Bestseller List for over eight years. Don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that make us unhappy and create needless suffering in our lives.

When we are ready to change these limiting beliefs, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can adopt to overcome them. 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.

In the words of Don Miguel Ruiz:

"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."

Living the Four Agreements is a powerful way to free ourselves from the limiting beliefs which cause all the stress, frustration, doubt, and sadness in our lives and to reconnect with our inner happiness again.

The Four Agreements:

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.
