The Four Agreements - Wisdom for Spiritual Warriors

My friend Kira posted this on her facebook page, and I read a blog by a guy who follows the teachings of a man named Don Miguel Ruiz. http://miguelruiz.com/
Interesting the Toltec influence here is nearly as ancient as the Maya who interest me so much.  Infact one of the NEW 7 wonders of the world, Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan, Mexico has more toltec influence than Maya.    There is much to be learned from ancient wisdom applicable today.   This information is from the website of http://www.toltecspirit.com/
I am not going to post the entire article, you can read that on his website, but The Four Agreements are:
1. 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.
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.
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 life.
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.
This book has been around for over 30 years and still has impact in peoples lives today as it did in ancient times.   Don Miguel also talks about these truths as being ancient wisdom coupled with modern application.   Thanks again Kira.... Great stuff!
