The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

"The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz outlines four principles to foster personal freedom and happiness: 1. **Be Impeccable with Your Word**: Use your words wisely and speak with integrity. 2. **Don’t Take Anything Personally**: Understand that others' words and actions are reflections of their own reality, not yours. 3. **Don’t Make Assumptions**: Communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings and assumptions about others’ thoughts or intentions. 4. **Always Do Your Best**: Strive for your best effort, knowing it varies by circumstance; this fosters growth and self-acceptance. These agreements serve as guiding principles for leading a more fulfilling life.
