The Four Agreements   (PDF)

Toltec Wisdom by Don Miguel Ruiz M.D.

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.

Don't Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do it 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.

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.

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.
