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.
