The 4 agreements

At Bible Study last night, one of our ladies (a retired therapist) shared these thought they were good.
1. 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 & love.
2. Dont take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say & do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you wont be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Dont 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 misunderstanding, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. 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...

If only it where that easy to follow all of these, it makes things seem so simple. Going to try to remember these agreements...
