The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)
All these spiritual and inspirational books seem to have one main theme. Being in the present, awareness and breath. And how we create what we think. In this case first Don explains how everyone has a dream and that is what they manifest in their life so what your dream is, is your reality. Then there is the bigger dream of the family, then bigger of the country… and how the dream of the planet is what it is today. He touches on the Toltecs. Women and men of knowledge, scientists and artists who formed a society to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the ancient ones. Stuff about Naugals and Mitote. Won’t get too into that. After explaining how we’ve brought misery into our lives he gives us 4 new agreements to replace the tons of wrong ones we have.

So the first agreement is Be Impeccable with Your Word. Basically what you say is what you create.

Second Don’t Take Anything Personally, self-explanatory.

Third Don’t Make Assumptions, human nature but he really explains how it’s causing so many problems.

Fourth is to Always Do Your Best, depending on your mood your best could be major or small time as long as it’s your best.

Then he goes on to explain the Toltec Path to Freedom and ways of breaking old agreements. Over to a new dream of heaven on Earth and a lil prayer. Now through out the chapters, whatever subject it is, dude mostly gives you so many pros and cons and feels like the whole book is an affirmation. He even says he’s repeating in because he wants to install the heaven on Earth reality to you. Heaven and Hell is what we choose so what’s it gonna be? HUH?! Quick book to read, decent concept of things but one again Art of Living has it all in there ;o) Big up Sean for the recommendation.
