Thank you, Allan, for sharing your wisdom. I am honored that someone of your stature would take the time to read my article and clarify the importance of the agreements. The four agreements© were published in 1997 and have sold about 9 million times. He has been on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly a decade. 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 those we make with ourselves. If the agreements are sometimes too simplified, it is still a small book with some heavy ideas. Focusing on one of these chords can dramatically improve your life and reduce stress; Focusing on all four can really change a lot of people`s lives. If followed in a general and non-fanatical way, these proposals can help you reduce a large amount of stress by helping you avoid patterns of thought and behavior that create frustration, accusations, hurt emotions and other negative emotions. I realize that it was written a few years ago… and I still have to depart from some of the author`s misunderstandings about wisdom in “The Four Accords.” Note that the beginning of the book on domestication and dreams is an important preface to understanding the power of new chords. The fourth agreement allows readers to have a better understanding of the progress made in achieving their goals in life.

This agreement involves the integration of the first three agreements into daily life and the exploitation of its own potential. [8] It is a matter of doing the best that can be managed individually, which varies from the different situations and circumstances that the individual may encounter. Ruiz believes that if you judge yourself and do your best at all times, you will be able to avoid remorse. [10] By integrating the first three chords and doing the best in all facets of life, the individual will be able to lead a life without grief or self-awareness. [10] “When you told me you were hurt and angry, I realized that I was afraid… then angry at you because they did me wrong… Then I realized that I took your sharing in person… If I could stop and accept your anger as your experience…

I was able to hold a space for it as your reality…. And I fell back into love. I love you. I love us. He is fluent in Spanish and English and often lectures and runs retreats in the United States. [5] In February 2002, Ruiz suffered an almost fatal heart attack. The damage caused by the heart attack and the coma that followed allowed him to work with a heart at only 16% of capacity and in constant pain. [6] He claims to have given his son Don José Ruiz a line from Eagle Knight,[7] with an emphasis on healing patients with headaches. [8] On October 9, 2010, Ruiz underwent a heart transplant at a Los Angeles hospital. He was on a retreat at Lotus Ranch in Wimberley, Texas, when he was informed that there was a heart available, and he had chartered a plane back to Los Angeles. [5] The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz is a wonderful book for stress management and personal growth.
