The Fourth Agreement



THIS one is my favorite and yet it is still challenging to do sometimes. For a perfectionist, like me, I am harder on myself than anyone else ever could be. I demand perfection from myself. So, sometimes I just need to give myself permission to ~ just do my best.

If I just do my best, there is no way I can judge myself. And if I don’t judge myself there is no way I am going to suffer from guilt, blame, and self-punishment. If I have done my best and my inner Judge tries to judge me, I’ve got the answer: “I did my best.” There are no regrets. 

That is why we always do our best. It is not an easy agreement to keep, but this agreement is really going to set you free. 


The sum of the 4 agreements become the mastery of transformation. If we practice these things, our lives will completely evolve into something beautiful and peaceful and meaningful. Don't expect that you will ALWAYS do them perfectly... you may not always be impeccable with your words... you may not always avoid taking things personally... you may not always escape making assumptions. But always, ALWAYS try to do your best and over time, the habit of doing these agreements will completely transform your life.
