So What are the 4 Agreements?
The Four agreements are: Be Impeccable with your Word, Don't take anything personally, Don't make assumptions, and finally; Always do your best.
The agreements are based in the ancient Toltec wisdom of Mexico. To engage them fully, it requires a person to work at defining their "authentic self" and then working to realte from that place of integrity. Already, I have experienced the wonderful freedom of not taking a particular situation personally. I was able to act rather than re-act to the person. I have also begun to note how many times I make assumptions about what others are thinking or base my understanding on a misperception.
An important note, I remember in regards to always doing your best is the point that your best is different if you are ill or well, etc. It is important in all of these agreements to keep in mind that it is better to act out of a place of love; and to be aware of the inner judge, the inner victim and how our old agreements formed over the years are causing us to suffer and other choices can be made by each one of us.
