The Four Agreements

  ''Self-rejection is the biggest sin that you commit.''  ― Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements       In his book The four Agreements Don Miguel Ruiz explains the main four agreements which we should make for a better personal freedom . The book offers a code of conduct based on ancient Toltec wisdom that advocates freedom from self -limiting beliefs   .        The four Agreements  told by Don Miguel Are  1) Be Impeccable with your words                                         what does that mean ?  It means that words are more powerful  than we think ,words can plant a idea in someone's mind like inception , words can incite fear in a person. so the author suggests to use words wisely while we speak .   2) Don't  take anything personally                                         As the first agreement is about the power of words so i true if someone uses that power of words on us in that case we should take nothing personally . Nothing others do is because of you.
