The Four Agreements
I saw this on another social media site and thought it was good. It looks like it could be used as part of a group exercise or teaching, as well as a personal journey:
- 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 options 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.
