Cassandra Reyes's Key Ideas from Wisdom from the Four Agreements
by Don Miguel Ruiz

"Don't take anything personally."

Whatever people do, say, or think; don't take it personally.

• Avoid eating the emotional garbage of others and turning it into your garbage.
• If someone says you are amazing, the person does not say for you. You know you are amazing and none needs to tell you to believe it.

"Don't make assumptions."

The day you stop assuming things, you would communicate with ability and clearness, free of emotional poison. 

• Ask without fear, things should be clarified to avoid problems.
• If we communicate clearly, we would improve our relationships.

"Always do your best."

When you do your best, you learn to accept yourself, learning from your mistakes.

• If you fail, there are no problems because you tried your best. Next time you would do it better.
• Work, activities, tasks would transform into enjoyable moments, even when you walk would feel great.
