A friend of mine is reading this book at the moment - The Four Agreements: Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (Toltec Wisdom)
As always with these kinds of books you shouldn't take every word literally, however understanding the notions and reflecting on yourself to see where you stand with them, will better your life, your happiness.
I always say this, being happy is simply a perspective. Understanding what your perspective is and working to always change that for the better, will inevitably leave you a happy human being. Go on, give it a try..
The Four Agreements
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak out against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
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.
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.
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-judgement, self abuse, and self regret.
