The Four Agreements

I loved Don Miguel Ruiz's book, The Four Agreements. It has been a big help to me since I read it a couple years ago. How could four simple agreements be so hard to uphold?

1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don't take anything personally.
3. Don't make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.

It takes daily practice for me to "try" to uphold these four agreements. The first three are the most difficult for me, especially #2. Because we are so full of ego, we take just about everything personally that comes to us in life.

I am now reading the The Four Agreements Companion Book. It provides some excellent practices that can help us achieve the four agreements.
