Selected Wisdom
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 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
honour the place in you
In
which the entire Universe dwells.
I
honour the place in you
Which
is of Love, of Truth,
Of
Light and of Peace
When
you are in that place in you
And
I am in that place in me
We
are One
