The Four Agreements

In a quest to find the whole me, I have been listening to additional teachers on how to live the life you want and deserve. A while back, someone told me about Don Miguel Ruiz and The Four Agreements. I was intrigued and purchased the CD set by the same name.

I am almost finished listening and have found that it really resonates with me and blends nicely with what Abraham teaches. I highly recommend this to anyone who is “seeking” for a way of life that will result in happiness and joy.

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

In The Four Agreements, don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting agreements 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. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, 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.

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

Speak with integrity. Say only what you meant. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your work in the direction of truth and love.

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.

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.

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 circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

The Audio Book of The Four Agreements was read by Peter Coyote.

You were born with the right to be happy. You were born with the right to love, to enjoy and to share your love. You are alive, so take your life and enjoy it. Don’t resist life passing through you because that is God passing through you. Just to be, to take a risk and enjoy your life is all that matters.
