The Four Agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz

Agreement 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. Fii impecabili n tot ceea ce spunei! Nu rostii dect adevrul. Nu afirmai dect ceea ce gndii cu adevrat. Nu folosii cuvintele pentru a jigni sau pentru a brfi, lucru valabil inclusiv pentru voi. Aplicai puterea cuvntului n sensul adevrului i al iubirii.

Agreement 2 Dont 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 wont be the victim of needless suffering. Nu luati nimic personal! Nimic din ceea ce fac altii nu are vreo legatura cu voi. Tot ce afirma si tot ce fac ei este proiectia propriei lor realitati, a propriului lor vis. Daca deveniti imuni la opiniile si la actiunile celor din jur, nu veti mai fi victimele unei suferinte inutile.

Agreement 3 Dont 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. Nu faceti presupuneri inutile! Cautati in voi curajul de a pune intrebari si de a exprima ceea ce doriti cu adevarat. Comunicati cu cei din jur cat mai clar cu putinta, evitand astfel neintelegerile, tristetea si dramele inutile. Acest legamant este suficient pentru a va transforma radical viata.

Agreement 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. "Faceti intotdeauna tot ce va sta in putere!" Nu uitati insa ca eficienta noastra maxima se schimba de la o clipa la alta, la fel cum starea organismului difera atunci cand acesta este sanatos de momentul cand este bolnav. Indiferent de circumstante, faceti tot ce va sta in puteri. Veti evita astfel autojudecarea, criticile si regretele inutile.
