FOUR AGREEMENT OF
SUCCESS
Presented by:

-Miguel Ruiz
1Bachelor in computer Science
BSCS (Morning) 4 Years
Session: 2016-2020
• “ Everything we do is based on agreements we
have made - agreements with ourselves, with other
people, with God, with life. But the most important
agreements are the ones we make with ourselves.
In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are,
how to behave, what is possible, what is
impossible. One single agreement is not such a
problem, but we have many agreements that come
from fear, deplete our energy and diminish our
self-worth” -Miguel Ruiz
2
FOUR AGREEMENTS OF SUCCESS
1. Be impeccable with your word,
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
3. Don't Make Assumptions
4. Always Do Your Best
3
THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
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
4
BEING IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
ACTIONS:
• Impeccable means “without sin”
• sin is something you do or believe that goes against yourself.
• It means not speaking against yourself, to yourself or to others.
• It means not rejecting yourself.
• To be impeccable means to take responsibility for yourself, to not participate
in “the blame game.”
• Regarding the word, the rules of “action-reaction” apply.
• What you put out energetically will return to you.
• This agreement can help you to change thousands of other agreements,
• especially ones that create fear instead of love.
5
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.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
6
NOT TAKING ANYTHING PERSONALLY ACTIONS
• We take things personally when we agree with what others have said.
• When we do not care about what others think about us, their words or behavior cannot affect us.
• When someone harms you or yours, it still is not about you!
• Their actions and words are based on what they believe in their personal dream.
• Practice forgiveness
• Apologizing doesn't always mean that you are wrong and the other person is right.
• Apologizing just means that you value your relationship with them more than your ego.
7
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
8
Don't Make Assumption Actions
• We have a tendency to make assumptions about
everything. The problem with making assumptions is that
we believe they are the truth
• We make assumptions about what others are doing or
thinking -- we take it personally -- then we blame them.
We also make assumptions about ourselves, and this
creates a lot of inner conflict.
• Even if we hear something and we don't understand, we
make assumptions about what it means and then believe
the assumptions.
• When we believe something, we assume we are right about
it to the point that we will destroy relationships in order to
defend our position
9
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
10
Always Doing Your Best
• The fourth agreement is about the action of the first
three. Under any circumstance, always do your best, no
more and no less. But keep in mind that your best is
never going to be the same from one moment to the next.
Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best
will sometimes be high quality, and other times it will not
be as good.
