The Four Agreements The Four Agreements afterwards reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz I realized Ive been living dreams of other people in my action and not my protest. It was refractory early on what I should do, whats possible and whats not. offset at birth we are t out of date what to think by our parents, schools, and church. Subconsciously, we have do agreements with them to love our liveness according to their rules. Don Miguel believes that these agreements are self-limiting and shares four agreements that if we change into our lives we will reach real peace and happiness.The book agree so much sense to me, but the hard part is to actually ease up to living out the four agreements. In short, the four agreements are listed at a lower place Be impeccable with your words. Speak with integrity and say what you mean. Use the index of your word in the direction of truth and love. Avoid gossip and retrieve words do hurt. Dictionary. com definition of impecc able is incapable of sin and a sin is something you do or believe that goes against you. At this detail of my life I try to be nothing but the truth and Ive learned from past experiences not to gossip about others because I image the emotional power of words.This agreement states that one should speak with integrity and by being impeccable with yourself will in return reflect in your life and world around you. I pride myself on usually keeping my word. Dont Take Anything Personally. Get over yourself its not about 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 wont be the victim of needless suffering. I remember a metre in my life when person said something about me and it meant more than what I thought and k recent new to be true about myself.Over the years Ive learned that what someone else thinks and/or says about me no longer matters. One day I woke up and I said to myself I m taking back off my power over me. I guess that day I made an agreement with myself not to let what others think dictate my life. I in the end realized that people will talk about you whether youre doing unassailable or bad. Dont Make Assumptions. Find the courage to affect questions and to express what you really desire. Communicate with others as clearly as you crowd out to avoid misunderstanding, sadness and drama.With just this one agreement, you can completely vary your life. We make assumptions because we need explanations (to our questions) to address whats going on in our own minds. The mind is a powerful thing and our minds have divers(prenominal) voices and personality that can create a lot of confusion. When I make assumptions there is always conflict that follows. I k without delay now that through and through communication we can arrive to resolution. This agreement rings true for me and has caused shame and sadness in my life to be at a point in my life that I can ask for what I want.Always Do Your Best. Your scoop out is going to change from moment to moment it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under whatsoever circumstance, simply do your beat out and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. I dont always feel as if I did my stovepipeI never have, too. In this agreement I know it mentions that your best is going to change from moment to moment. I would like to experience my best more often. To truly give my best I have to be moved in some kind of spiritual way.That is the only time I feel as if Im doing something I want versus something I have to do. The more my life is shifting into trying to live more in the moment Ive realized the more I do my best and the better I become. Three years agone I went into my personal dream(s) and started changing my agreements. I began to embark on a journey of self-healing. It was purely about finally living in peace, openly and freely, but first I needed to revisit some old childhood wounds that had been holding me hostage my entire life.I began to pray daily in preparation to deal with the many demons that resides inside me. If I had kept the agreements wedded to me by my household and neighborhood while growing up, I would be in a mental institution or dead. As a child, I had no choice about what agreements that were instilled in me, but now I can create my own. I feel as if Im living an impeccable life and am being true to the disciplines of a Toltec Warrior. http//archpsyc. ama-assn. org/cgi/content/abstract/68/1/33
