• The Four Agreements:

Be impeccable with your word.

Don’t take anything personally.

Don’t make assumptions.

Always do your best.

• “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.

• “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 circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom is unquestionably the place to get started with Don Miguel Ruiz. The book is short, inspiring, and thought-provoking. In it, you get the opportunity to learn the great wisdom that was passed down from his Toltec ancestors.

The four agreements are listed above under “Quotes and Thoughts.” They are simple, but it’s the how and why that makes The Four Agreements such a valuable book.

In his work, Don Miguel Ruiz writes:

There are thousands of agreements you have made with yourself, with other people, with your dream of life, with God, with society, with your parents, with your spouse, with your children. But the most important agreements are the ones you made with yourself. In these agreements you tell yourself who you are, what you feel, what you believe, and how to behave. The result is what you call your personality. In these agreements you say, “This is what I am. This is what I believe. I can do certain things, and some things I cannot do. This is reality, that is fantasy; this is possible, that is impossible.”

One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that make us suffer, that make us fail in life. If you want to live a life of joy and fulfillment, you have to find the courage to break those agreements that are fear-based and claim your personal power. The agreements that come from fear require us to expend a lot of energy, but the agreements that come from love help us to conserve energy and even gain extra energy.

Don Miguel Ruiz’s book only took a day to read, yet after I was finished, I immediately understood the power of The Four Agreements.
