The Four Agreements are:

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.

i have had both boys read this. we have talked about this since they were so young. and yea, they have parents that can help them to even think, let alone think about this stuff. talk about, feel, wallow in. they still need the time to grow into their own. even if they are beyond most, because they have had this opportunity, they still dont have the ability the same as someone with lots of experience.

and then there are all those that are clueless. never directed, guided, taught. they arent throw away.

i hear what you are saying. we are not all there. not even kinda. i tend to think it is more the minority

but i like your words.
