I have been rereading the Four Agreements byDon Miguel Ruiz. If you have not read it before then it's definitely worth checking out.However, below are the four agreements he suggests you live your life by: 1. Be impeccable with your word. 2. Don't take anything personally. 3. Don't make assumptions. 4. Always do your best.(whateverittakes) They don't need much explaining “Even if we hear something and we don’t understand, we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions.We make all sorts of assumptions because we don’t have the courage to ask questions.”Don Miguel Ruiz
