THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

by Don Miguel Ruiz

 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 the 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.

I hang this proudly on my office wall...it's a part of my business creed...it was presented to me as a gift and I wanted to share this gift with you.  To have a business is a wonderful accomplishment, respect and value it.  We must be true to ourselves and to the customers that we service.  I wish all of you much success in your endeavors.
