In part 1 of this 2-part video, we learn about the “domestication” of man and how all the rules and values of our family and society are imposed on us by a system of punishment and reward. As young children, our true nature is to love and be happy, to explore and enjoy life; we are absolutely authentic. But then we learn to be what others think we “should” be, and because it`s not acceptable for us to be who we are, we start pretending to be what we aren`t. When we are teenagers, we have learned to judge ourselves, to punish ourselves and to reward ourselves according to agreements we have never chosen. The Four Accords help us break self-limiting agreements and replace them with agreements that bring us freedom, happiness and love. As we grew up, we unconsciously made a number of deals (much like the four deals) with ourselves. These agreements guide our behavior – they act as an internal compass through which we decide what to do and what not to do. But we never CHOSE these agreements. This book presents us with four agreements that we should make with ourselves in order to live a good life. It won`t be easy to replace our old agreements with these new four, but it can be a significant personal change you can make. Making assumptions really means solving problems. We take a little piece of information and then extrapolate it to paint a complete picture.
If we believe that this image we have painted (based on a small piece of information) gives us a good understanding of the situation, then we are doomed to disaster. The Four Accords were published© in 1997 and have sold approximately 9 million copies. It has been on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly a decade. Everything we do is based on agreements we have made – agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God, with life. But the most important agreements are those we make with ourselves. We have all made a number of “agreements” about how we are going to manage life. We have made agreements with our friends, our partners, our parents, our children, with our gods, with society at large. And, of course, the most important agreements are those we have made with ourselves.
All these agreements we have made guide our “personality”: they tell us who we are, how we feel, what we believe and how we behave. In most cases, however, all of these agreements have never been consciously chosen. Ruiz says that, like farm animals, we were “domesticated” from childhood – we were punished or rewarded based on what we did or didn`t do, and it shaped us into who we are today. This book shows us that it is possible to break some of the old “agreements” that no longer serve us and create new agreements that we consciously choose and then maintain day after day. Whatever your own agreements, Ruiz suggests that we (based on Toltec wisdom) should all conclude the following four agreements.

This is a hypothesis, and it turns out that it is not true. We all see the world differently based on our backgrounds, experiences, and current positions. We need to realize that everyone looks at the world through their own tinted glasses – while the contours are usually similar, the finer details will be completely different from person to person. .

The Toltecs were an ancient civilization of Mexico, known as the “women and men of knowledge.” They were scientists and artists who founded a society to explore and preserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the elders. It is not a religion, but rather a spiritual way of life. Don Miguel Ruiz dug through civilization to extract the fundamental wisdom and guiding principles of their way of life.

It seems obvious, of course, we should always do our best, but when you think about it, I`m sure you can choose something you did this week where you didn`t do your best. It`s for the big things: the annual report to work and the speech you give, the performance you participate in. But it`s also for the little things: our daily interactions with another person, the way we talk to our partner, the way we enter a room. If we don`t do our best, there`s a gap between our performance and how we know we could perform if we did our best. We often fill this void with guilt or regret for not doing our best. If you do your best in every moment of your life, then there is no room for regret in our lives. Our word is the most powerful tool at our disposal to create things. But it is a double-edged sword: with our word, we can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can destroy everything around you. Therefore, we need to be careful about how we use our power. In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that deprive us of joy and cause unnecessary suffering.
Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the four agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can quickly transform our lives into a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.• A New York Times bestseller for more than a decade• More than 8.5 million copies sold in the United States• Translated into 46 languages worldwide In Part 2 of this 2-part video, We come to know the Book of the Law that governs our minds and the inner judge that makes us suffer because we never measure ourselves against our “image of perfection.” All our normal tendencies are lost in the process of domestication, and we begin to look for what we have lost. We seek freedom because we are no longer free; we seek happiness because we are no longer happy; we seek beauty because we no longer believe that we are beautiful. What we are looking for is our “self”. With practice, the Four Accords help us regain our “authentic self,” and this is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. The second chord: Don`t take anything in person Watch high-quality images that allow you to zoom in to take a closer look. The way to fight this is to have the courage to admit that you don`t know and ask questions. Instead of making an assumption and guessing that you`re probably 30% right (and 70% wrong), be ahead of the curve and admit that you`re not sure so you can get much closer to a 100% understanding. When we get more information, we can really know something instead of just accepting. The human mind is like fertile soil on which seeds are constantly planted. Seeds are planted with words (ideas, opinions, concepts) – if we plant bad seeds with bad words, we will get rotten fruits.
