Be Impeccable with your Word:\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Don\u2019t Take Anything Personally<\/strong><br>\nNothing 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 opinions and actions of others, you won\u2019t be the victim of needless suffering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Don\u2019t Make Assumptions<\/strong><br>\nFind 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Always Do Your Best<\/strong><br>\nYour 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-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.<\/p>\n<p>Don Miguel Ruiz below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/221\/2012\/08\/miguel-ruiz-3.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1313\" title=\"miguel ruiz 3\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/221\/2012\/08\/miguel-ruiz-3-300x248.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"248\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To Don Miguel Ruiz, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. \u00a015 years I picked up this little book entitled the Four Agreements, and I am still learning.
