i feel like whenever life takes a downward turn, non-fiction novels offer a compelling reason to persevere. despite its small size, this book beautifully highlights the universal themes that bind us all together: love, live and let live.
make four simple agreements with yourself and you will discover that living becomes remarkably easier, incredibly lighter:
̗̀➛be impeccable with your word: it's about choosing your words carefully, ensuring that they reflect your true character and values. by avoiding gossip, lies, and self-judgment, you create a space of trust and authenticity in your interactions.
̗̀➛don't take anything personally: remember, other people's opinions and actions are a reflection of their own experiences and perspectives, not a measure of your worth. embrace the power of detachment, allowing yourself to rise above the noise of external judgments. instead of assuming that everything is about you, cultivate a mindset of empathy and understanding.
̗̀➛don't make assumptions: take a moment to pause and seek clarity before jumping to conclusions. by verifying the truth and communicating clearly, you can avoid misunderstandings and foster stronger connections. embrace the art of asking questions, as it demonstrates your genuine interest in understanding others and promotes open dialogue.
̗̀➛always do your best: strive for excellence in every situation, giving your all without pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion. remember, your best is unique to you, and it's not about comparing yourself to others. embrace self-acceptance and let go of regret or self-criticism. by doing your best, you honor your own growth and potential.
i highly recommend it to everyone to read this book atleast once in your lifetime.
what amazed me, was the seamless integration of stories, anecdotes, and examples from diverse beliefs within this petite book.
