This blog is from the book of wisdom by Don Miguel Ruiz. I just started reading the book yesterday and I just finished it early this morning. The book is a guide to personal freedom. It explains that there are four agreements that everyone should live by and if they do then they will lessen the problems in their lives.
The first agreement is BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD. The author shows how one persons words can do so much. You can change a persons outlook on themselves or on life. He continues and says that we must be careful of what we ay because you never know when it can be taken the wrong way and we lose someone close to us.
The second agreement is DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY. All of the things that other people do do not reflect you in any way. Their opinions or even their actions should not make you do things a certain way. He states, "When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering."
The third agreement is DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS. Find the power to ask questions and show others what you really want. Communication with others reduces the amount of misunderstandings, sadness, and drama within lives. This agreement can completely change your life.
The fourth agreement is ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST. He states that your best will be different from time to time. One day you will be healthy and another day you will be sick but still do the best you can in either situation. Doing your best helps keep your confidence and helps reduce the amount of regret in one's life.
This book is very interesting and very motivational. If you ever get a chance stop by a book store and pick one up.
