The Four Agreements – Don Miguel Ruiz (A1 Level)

The Four Agreements is a book that helps people live a happy and free life. It is simple, but very powerful. The book is about four important rules that we can follow every day. These agreements are good ideas to make your life better and your heart calm.

When you follow them, you are stronger, kinder, and more peaceful. The author, Don Miguel Ruiz, says that life is full of choices, and our words and actions are very important.

First Agreement: Be Impeccable with Your Word

This means: Speak with truth and kindness.
Your word is powerful. Use it in a good way. Don’t lie. Don’t say bad things about yourself or others.
“Your word is the power you have to create.”

Second Agreement: Don’t Take Anything Personally

This means: What people say or do is not about you.
If someone is angry or rude, it is because of them, not you. Don’t feel sad or hurt. You are strong and you know who you are.
“Nothing others do is because of you.”

Third Agreement: Don’t Make Assumptions

This means: Ask questions. Don’t guess.
When you are not sure, ask. Clear words are better than confusion.
“Find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want.”

Fourth Agreement: Always Do Your Best

This means: Do your best every day.
Your best is not the same every day, and that is okay. What matters is to try. If you do your best, you are going to feel proud and happy.
“Your best is enough. Always.”
