A code of conduct, distilled by Don Miguel Ruiz

The Four Agreements

Four simple commitments that quietly reshape how you speak, listen, and judge yourself. Open a panel to read what it actually asks of you, then mark it if you're ready to work on it today.

01
Agreement One

Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak 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.

02
Agreement Two

Don't Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality.

When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

03
Agreement Three

Don't Make Assumptions

Find 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.

04
Agreement Four

Always Do Your Best

Your 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-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.
