In the best selling book The Four Agreements Don Miguel Ruiz<\/a>\u00a0gives four principles to practice in order to create love and happiness in your life. \u00a0As you practice living these four practices your life will dramatically change. In the beginning these new habits will be challenging and you will lapse countless times. With practice these agreements become integrated into your being and every area of your life and become easy habits to keep. \u00a0The Four Agreements are (1) Be Impeccable with your Word, (2)\u00a0Don\u2019t Take Anything Personally, (3)\u00a0Don\u2019t Make Assumptions and (4)\u00a0\u00a0Always Do Your Best.<\/p>\n

1. Be Impeccable with your Word:
\nSpeak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t Take Anything Personally
\nNothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won\u2019t be the victim of needless suffering.<\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t Make Assumptions
\nFind the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.<\/p>\n

4. Always Do Your Best
\nYour best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.<\/p>\n
