We all have individual dreams, but there is also a collective dream (the dream of the planet)
Rules that define this collective dream are taught to us by parents, schools, religions, and other influential forces.
This education teaches us what proper behavior is, what we should believe, and the difference between good and bad.

As children, adults were more powerful than us. They could stop us from going against them and punish us if we disobeyed.
Most of us surrendered and accepted these rules.
At a certain point, these beliefs are deeply embedded within us, and we domesticate ourselves.
We create a perfect self-image and punish ourselves when we fail to act according to it.

The Four Agreements
There is a different way. We can break free from this structure by establishing new agreements for ourselves.

1. Be Impeccable with Your Word
Never use your word against yourself or others.
Your words are powerful and can either liberate or enslave you and others.
Be careful with the words you use, as they shape your thoughts and reality.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Don't take things personally, as they are not about you but about the other person.
Know who you are, and you won't need to seek acceptance or information from others.
People view the world from different perspectives.

3. Don't Make Assumptions
Assumptions create problems and have no basis in reality.
Replace assumptions with courageous questions to get clarity.

4. Always Do Your Best
Do your best, which will change depending on the situation.
Don't go beyond your best or do less than your best.
Do things for your own sake, not for external motivation.
Doing your best will increase the power of the other agreements and help you free yourself.
