March 9, 2013 - Don Miguel and Oprah -

A conversation in truth!

I read the book some years ago and was really turned on to the truth of these four agreements! I then shared the book with others including family members. Several years ago in my continuation with and in the four agreements I made a declaration in my shared household that I am living by these four agreements not only for myself but in all my relations as well! (I have no idea whether or not anyone in my household took any notice.)

There are religions, spiritual traditions, esoteric schools and the like that teach that creation came into manifestation through the word/Logos. To the extent that you recognize the truth of that is the extent that you can realize why it is so powerful to be impeccable with your word! In any case thought is certainly creative and your word is your thought expressed.

The best psychology that I have found is in the second agreement: "Don't take anything personally."

Author Don Miguel gives an example on this agreement with a core message: "your attention controls the belief" of what you believe others say about you!.[3]

I have found that the third agreement: "Don't make assumptions" is one of the most supportive strategies in all my relations.

Lastly (but not least) the Fourth Agreement: "Always Do Your Best"! When you do your best you can be free of worry and be happy!

"... what have you really retained from all the books you have read just once? The human brain is not able to retain essential truths immediately or to grasp their whole meaning. Over the years your consciousness develops. When you reread these books, the same truths will appear to you in a new light, and you will find them even more enriching. ..."[4]
