*If all of
your actions, comments, thoughts, and attitudes at any moment adhere to these
four basic rules, you will learn, allow others to learn, and ultimately provide
yourself with the best possible experience in this class (and life).
1.
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with
integrity. Say only what you
mean. Avoid using the word to
speak against yourself or others.
Use the strength of your word to promote truth, compassion, patience,
and good old-fashioned love.
2.
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. This does not mean ignore others, but
rather consider their reality when listening.
3.
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
experience for the better.
4.
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.
