When we are ready to change these agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can adopt as guiding principles.
In The Four Agreements, don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting agreements that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. But the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves.
According to don Miguel Ruiz, everything we do is based on agreements we have made - agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God, with life.
