Straight and to the point! This is should be owned by every person in the world. It will help you make a difference in your life and help you life a FULL life.
The Four Agreements®
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.

"A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle." Kahlil Gibran
Action is the missing ingredient for many great dreamers and ambitious people. Knowledge is never sufficient to move one's life forward. Knowledge coupled with action is the solution to stagnation. Stagnation is death and thoughts that are not moved into actions will soon die and be buried. When we act on sound knowledge, the reward is wisdom. True faith does not exist on the tongue. Faith is a result of moving with the trust that things will work out. The result of an action taken is always positive because it builds the muscles necessary to take additional actions, thereby increasing one's faith. TODAY, take a stagnant idea and move it into action. Life is best lived in motion and in the moment.
