"1st Agreement: Be impeccable with your word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip with others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love."
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements
Don Miguel Ruiz’ Four Agreements rocks.
The first one? “Be impeccable with your word.” (For the record, the word im-peccable literally means “without sin.”)
Why not take a break from berating ourselves with a negative and incessant internal dialogue. And, while we’re at it, how about a day of no gossip?!?
Make this one agreement (or any of these for that matter) and you will change your life.
…
The Four Agreements in a nutshell:
- Be impeccable with your word.
- Don’t take anything personally.
- Don’t make assumptions.
- Always do your best.
