Miguel Ruiz 4 agreements for the acquisition of freedom

The word is the power that you create yourself. Your word is a gift emanating directly from God. About the creation of the Universe the gospel of John reads: "In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."





First Agreement. Your word has to be perfect

The first Agreement is the most important, and therefore to perform his most difficult. It is so important that allows you to rise to the level of existence I call heaven on earth.

The first Agreement is that: Your word must be flawless.

It sounds very simple but it is incredibly powerful.

Why to meet such requirements to the word? The word is the power that you create yourself. Your word is a gift emanating directly from God. About the creation of the Universe the gospel of John reads: "In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Through the word you Express your creative energy. The existence of all that is happening with the participation of the word.

No matter what language you speak, your intentions are expressed through words. What you see in a dream, feel that, in reality, are all embodied in the word.

The word is not just a sound or a graphic symbol. The word is power, a powerful person's ability to Express themselves and to communicate, to think and, thus, to create the events of his life.

The word — the most powerful tool of man; it is a magical tool. But, like a sword, it can produce surprisingly beautiful sleep, and to destroy. One facet — the misuse of the word, doers of hell. Other accurate words, creating beauty, love and heaven on earth.

Depending on how it's used, the word can liberate or enslave. Hard to imagine all the power of the word.

Perfection in words — it is the right use of energy.Perfection means the use of energy for the sake of truth and love for yourself. If you accept yourself, you will be guided by the truth, purifying from the inside out from the emotional poison.

But to make such an Agreement difficult, because we are accustomed to another. Communicating with others and, more importantly, with ourselves, we are accustomed to lies. We are not perfect.

The accuracy and perfection of your words can be measured by the level of self-love. The degree of self-love and feeling itself proportional to the quality and integrity of the word. If the word is perfect, you have good health, you are happy and calm.

The following three Agreements stem from the First.

The Second Agreement. Nothing take it personally

Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally. Think of our example above: when I, not knowing you, meeting you on the street and say, "Yes, you big silly!", in fact, this statement would concern me.

You can take it to your account except for the reason that they believe it. Maybe about yourself, you think: "how does he know? Clairvoyant or what? Or my stupidity is already visible to everyone?"

You take the saying to heart because I agree with him. Once this occurs, the poison gets into you and you're trapped in a hellish dream. A fall from a sense of self-importance. Which, together with the mistrust the essence of the extreme expression of selfishness, because each of us believes that everything revolves around him. During training or taming people get used to take. We feel that we are responsible for everything. I, I, I, always I!

But others do not act for you. And according to its own intentions. Each person lives in individual dreams, in his own mind; he is in a world completely unlike ours. Taking something to your account, we assume people know our reality, and we are trying to combine your world and them.

When we really see other people for who they are, nothing without taking into the account, they by word or deed will not have to hurt.You're lying? Well, okay. Lie because they are afraid. Fear, suddenly you will find that they are imperfect.

Remove the social mask of pain. When people say one thing and do another, then you are fooling yourself if you don't notice their actions. But when you are sincere with yourself, you will be able to protect themselves from emotional pain. Can be very painful to tell yourself the truth, but you have no need to be bound to this pain. The recovery is around the corner: a little time and everything will work out.

The Third Agreement. Don't make assumptions, we Have a habit of all conjectures. The difficulty lies in our belief that they are true.

We could swear that our assumptions are real. Express them regarding what people do or think (taking it personally), and then blame them and send emotional poison. Therefore, whenever speaking of speculation, we are asking for trouble. Express them, misinterpreted, taken at their own expense and out of nothing create a huge trouble.

The suffering and drama of your life are the result of guesswork and making things at his own expense.

For a moment on this proposition. The diversity of governance relationships between people is to control speculation and taking things at his own expense. This is based on our hell of a dream.

We create a huge amount of emotional poison just by making assumptions and taking things personally, because you typically start to discuss their hypotheses. Remember, gossip is a way of communicating in a hellish dream and transfer poison to one another. We are afraid to ask someone to explain what we cannot understand, and therefore Express guesses and the first believe in them; then we defend them and prove someone wrong.

It is always better to ask questions than to make assumptions, because they bring us suffering. To refrain from speculation — ask questions. Let in communication remains unclear. If you do not understand — ask. Have the courage to ask questions until things fall into place, and then, make no mistake, if everyone already knows about the situation. When they answer, will know the truth, and guessing would not be necessary.

Gather your spirit and ask about what interests you. Meeting has the right to say "no" or "Yes", but a right to ask is always there. Similarly, everyone has the right to ask you a question and you can answer "Yes" or "no".

If something is not understood, it is better to ask and find out, without resorting to speculation. That day, when you stop to speculate, dialogue is clean and clear, devoid of emotional poison. In the absence of guesses your word becomes impeccable.

The Fourth Agreement. Try to do everything the best way There is another agreement, it makes the previous three in established habits. The fourth Agreement relates to previous actions: Try to do everything the best way.

Under any circumstances, always try to do the very best you can — no more and no less.

But keep in mind that your ability in this respect is not permanent.Everything is alive and everything changes in time, and sometimes your efforts result in high quality, and sometimes not. When you rest and get up in the morning with fresh forces, capabilities, your more than late at night when tired. You can do more when healthy than when sick; when sober than when drunk. Your potential will depend on whether you are in great and happy mood or upset, angry, jealous.

"Doing well" does not seem to work because you enjoy what you do. When you enjoy the process and after work is an unpleasant precipitate, you know make every effort. Try because you want to, not because we have to try to please the Judge or others.

The first Three Agreements will only work if you are going to do everything in the best way.

Do not expect that you will be able to always be above reproach in the words. Your habits are too strong and firmly entrenched in the mind. But you can do everything you can.

Do not think that never will take it personally; just do everything possible for that.

Do not dream that will never make assumptions, and you can still try to live that way.

If you're doing the best we can, habit to abuse the word, take it all in and assume will weaken and gradually leave you.

Not to judge, feel guilty, punish yourself, if you can not follow these agreements.

Do all you can do, and there will be a sense of relief, even if you continue to speculate, to take into the account not be always perfect. published
