A few years ago I read a book by Don Miguel Ruiz called The Four Agreements. He's one of those Toltec wisdom people and spirituality writers. The four agreements are amazingly simple and are basically this:
1. Be Impeccable with your Word
2. Don't make Assumptions
3. Don't take things personally
4. Always do your best
He says that living any one of them can transform your life, but that the first three, while quite simple, are very difficult. The fourth one though is easily within our reach... and also has the power to transform our lives. Always doing my best means doing it with everything that I have and everything that I am. It means that I don't settle for second-best effort. That I am always putting my all into things. That I am being wholehearted. Now, that is pretty much how I do live my life... mostly...
The other three are a work in progress... more later!
