The Four Agreements
Based on the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz
Be impeccable with your word -Words have the ability to hurt.Speak with truth and kindness whenever possible to yourself and to others.
Don't take anything personally-People look out for number one, themselves. Another persons actions are a not necessarily a deliberate insult to you. That person cares for himself FIRST, that his actions affected you could very well be accidental. The term collateral damage comes to mind.
Don't make assumptions-Often what looks to be the case, is not the case at all. You do not always have all the information needed to draw an informed opinion.Gather more information and even then, you still have the ability to draw an incorrect conclusion.
Always do your best-Sometimes we try something and fail. You must question yourself as towhether or not you did your best to succeed. If you did, then great,kudos to you. If you dropped the ball when you shouldn't have, thenconfess up and try to fix it by doing your best. When you have notdone your best, do not blame others.
