Surgeon Don Miguel Ruiz had a near-death experience that caused him to rethink the way he had been living. He developed a set of four agreements with himself to help him life a more fulfilling life: Be impeccable with your word. Don’t take anything personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best. Here’s advice from his book, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom. Use your words to create the life you want to live “The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word. It sounds very simple, but it is very, very powerful. Why your word? Your word is the power that you have to create.”
