The Four Agreements

This is something I found recently that I thought others may find useful. These are promises we make to ourselves to keep in mind throughout the day...
The 4 agreements, by Miguel Ruiz:
Be Impeccable With Your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you
mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip
about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and
love.
Don't Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you.
What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own
dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you
won't be the victim of needless suffering.
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.
Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to
moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.
Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid
self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
