The Four Agreements

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word

2. Don't Take Anything Personally

3. Don't Make Assumptions

4. Always Do Your Best

One of the links on my sidebar is for Danielle Lin's radio archives and I've included the link here to listen to the fabulous interview with Don Miguel Ruiz as he and Danielle rap for an hour about the Toltec way of living, which is articulated in "The Four Agreements".

I first heard Don Miguel being interviewed about three years ago and ever since then I've made these four insights into living a peaceful and joyous life, a big part of mine. They are so simple, so uncomplicated. It's not always easy to follow them completely(especially the First Agreement if you like to say cunt a lot, as we've already covered), but I can vouch that these four little phrases will work wonders for you if you choose to live by them. The book is available widely too and is well worth getting.

It's great that Danielle has this interview archived so you can check him out for yourself. She's quite an articulate host and he sounds gorgeous with his softly-spoken South American voice. If you like the show, I highly recommend checking out the nearly four years of archives available on her site.
