The Four Agreements

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Ancient Toltec wisdom offers a powerful code of conduct to bring us freedom, happiness, and love

  1. Be Impeccable with Your Word
    • Through your word you express your creative power
    • Through your word you manifest everything
    • Your word is a force
    • You word can either create or destroy
    • Your word can either set you free or enslave you
    • Every human is a magician
    • Self-rejection is the biggest sin you can commit
    • Imagine what you can create with impeccability of the word
  2. Don’t Take Anything Personally
    • Personal importance causes us to be trapped
    • Nothing other people do is because of you; it is because of themselves
    • By taking things personally, you set yourself up to suffer
    • You have to trust yourself
    • There is a huge amount of freedom in this
  3. Don’t Make Assumptions
    • The problem with making assumptions is we believe them to be true
    • Emotional poison is created by making assumptions
    • Assumptions are created out of fear
    • We have the need to justify everything
    • We make the assumption that everyone sees life like we do
    • Making assumptions about ourselves creates inner conflict
    • We don’t need to justify love – it is there or not there
    • Find your voice to ask for what you want
  4. Always Do Your Best
    • You best will change over time
    • Regardless of the quality of your best, keep doing it
    • You will live life intensely when you do your best
    • You will learn to accept yourself when you do your best
    • You were born with the right to be happy
    • Doing your best is taking an action because you love it, not for the reward
