Some time ago,
when
I was interviewing for a position that offered the
possibility of relocating to a different state,
the interviewer asked me where I would like
to work. Without fully thinking through my
response, I blurted out, "On the front porch!"
I was as surprised by my response as he was, but
the more I thought about it, the more I realized
just how true it was. It became my goal and an amazing array of blessings have come
from the journey.

The Four
AgreementsTM
1. Be Impeccable
With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean.
Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or
to gossip about others. Use the power of your word
in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others
say and do is a projection of their own reality,
their own dream. When you are immune to the
opinions and actions of others, you won't be the
victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express
what you really want. Communicate with others as
clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings,
sadness and drama. With just this one agreement,
you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to
moment; it will be different when you are healthy
as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply
do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment,
self-abuse and regret.
