"3rd Agreement: 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."
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements
You ever notice how we’re always creating drama in our lives by assuming that someone thinks something?
Whether it’s assuming our boss is upset with us or that someone is attracted to us…
Why assume? Creating fantasies waste time and energy.
Quit making assumptions. Have the courage to ask. Have the courage to express yourself.
…
The Four Agreements in a nutshell:
- Be impeccable with your word.
- Don’t take anything personally.
- Don’t make assumptions
- Always do your best

Testimonials
“The amount of work you've devoted to this is amazing. Love the quotes. Something worth reading everyday. Sometimes reading about how someone thought about something can open up your mind to new ideas or make you see things differently. It's great to have access to quick references of extremely bright minds and their thoughts. Like Thomas A. Edison said, to have a great idea, have lots of them. This is a great idea. Thank you.”
