The First Agreement: “Be impeccable with your word.”
Honesty. Directness. Speak with grace and lightness. Why keep spreading negativity? The world has plenty of it. No need for me to throw wood on the fire. The more I am honest with myself, kind to myself, the more I will be able to be honest and kind with everyone else.
Keeping an impeccable word isn’t hard, but breaking the fear of that word being seen is.

The Fourth Agreement: “Always do your best.”
Nothing in life will be difficult if you’re just doing your best. You can find joy in every avenue of your day if you simply try as best as you can. There’s no room for regret if you look back on something and think, “Hey, it wasn’t great. But I did my best.”
Your best will improve and deplete, but it’ll always be worth more than half-measures.

The Third Agreement: “Don’t make assumptions.”
Another close-to-home agreement. Assumptions ruin your perception of the world, particularly within those you love. We have self-created barriers that prevent us from seeing reality, causing us to spiral if something is not explicitly clear.
That girl is not sneaking around. That friend is not being toxic. You are fabricating evidence and believing it as truth.

“Making assumptions in our relationships is really asking for problems.”
“We have the need to justify everything, to explain and understand everything, in order to feel safe.”

The Second Agreement: “Don’t take anything personally.”
There’s no need to let the things you see, hear, or even think create limitations and binding agreements within yourself. It does not matter if someone gossips about you, if that person ghosts you, if that stranger bumps into you. From small to large actions, these are reflections of their souls — not yours.
Let words bounce off of you. Love living.

“Misery likes company.”
Feeling what you feel is okay, and sharing it isn’t a sin. But giving the weight of your misery to someone and not taking it back is the problem. Misery can be anything. You’re unhappy with your job, relationship, toxic situations. You can ask for a support beam but don’t just beat it up until it collapses just so it’s just as ruined as you are. That’s selfish. That’s wrong.

“Ninety-five percent of the beliefs we have stored in our minds are nothing but lies, and we suffer because we believe all these lies.”
I’ve lived within my own personal prison of limitations for as long as I can remember. It’s hard to know what absolute authenticity looks like for Andrew. I believe things that aren’t true, and abide by laws that don’t exist. I can tell this book will be a journey.
