Urano

"The Four Agreements" is a book written by Dr. Miguel Ruiz and is based on Toltec wisdom. The Toltecs affirmed that "our lives are no more than a dream, of which is created by one self ".

1. BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD: speak with integrity. Say only what you want to say. Avoid speaking against yourself and to gossip about others. Use the power of your words to head in the direction of truth and love. All the magic you possess lies in your words. With only one word you can change the life of one person or destroy millions of people. Be impeccable with your words and transcend your existence level.

2. DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY: what others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. NOTHING they do is for you. When you become immune to their opinions and actions, you will stop being a victim of unnecessary suffering.

3. DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS: discover the courage necessary to ask for and express what you really want. Clearly communicate with others to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and dramas. If you agree to this, you will transform your life completely. The day you stop making assumptions, you will communicate effectively and clearly and your words will become impeccable.

4. ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST: the more changes you make from one moment to another the better. It will be different when you are healthy compared to when you are sick. Under any circumstance, do the maximum effort, and in this way you will avoid judgment, mistreatment and lamentations.
