A life filled with peace and joy is possible by living by these agreements from "summary" of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz,Janet Mills
In order to achieve a life filled with peace and joy, it is essential to live by four agreements. These agreements serve as a guide to living a fulfilling life without unnecessary suffering. By following these agreements, one can experience true freedom and happiness. The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word. This means speaking with integrity, avoiding gossip and using the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. The words we speak have the power to create or destroy, so it is important to use them wisely. Being impeccable with your word not only benefits others, but also yourself, as it allows you to live in harmony with your beliefs and values. The second agreement is to not take anything personally. When we take things personally, we allow the opinions and actions of others to affect our own sense of self-worth. By realizing that what others say and do is a reflection of their own reality, rather than a reflection of who we are, we can free ourselves from needless suffering. This agreement empowers us to maintain our inner peace regardless of external circumstances. The third agreement is to not make assumptions. Making assumptions leads to misunderstandings and unnecessary suffering. By asking questions and communicating clearly, we can avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. This agreement encourages us to seek clarity and understanding in all our interactions, leading to more harmonious relationships and a greater sense of peace. The fourth agreement is to always do your best. By giving your best effort in all that you do, you can avoid self-judgment and regret. Doing your best allows you to live without regrets, knowing that you have given your all in every situation. This agreement encourages us to strive for excellence while also being compassionate towards ourselves. Living by these agreements requires practice and dedication, but the rewards are immense. By following these simple yet powerful guidelines, one can experience a life filled with peace, joy, and fulfillment.
