036: The Four Agreements

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD. THAT IS THE FIRST AGREEMENT.

Stop gossiping, complaining, and criticizing. Your word is one of the most powerful tools you have. When was the last time you used it to bring someone up instead of gossip? When was the last time you used it to put value out into the world instead of complaining and criticizing the person who didn't? Practice being impeccable with your word.

THE SECOND AGREEMENT IS: DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.

Imagine a person who hates books watches one of my videos. What's his comment going to look like? Now imagine that same person in two years; this time he's gone through a major life transformation and loves reading books. What's his comment going to look like now? But, notice how my video is the same in both cases. How people treat you is a projection of who they are. That is why it doesn't make sense to ever take anything personally.

THE THIRD AGREEMENT IS: DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.

If you're in a leadership position, you will lose all respect when something doesn't get done the way it's supposed to, and instead of having the courage and skill to communicate, you just assume things and start treating people like trash. If you had asked, who knows, you might have actually found out that the person is going through a divorce and your little task isn't really his number one priority right now. Build up the skill and the courage to communicate, and you will easily turn hatred towards you into loyalty and respect.

THE FINAL AGREEMENT IS: ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST.

Your best is going to change from moment to moment but under any circumstance, simply do your best. Nobody abuses us more than we abuse ourselves, but if we simply do our best, we can avoid all the unnecessary self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret. These are the four agreements that I constantly break, but when I do, I just say, “Okay, I broke the agreement of being impeccable with my word. I will start all over again. Today I will be impeccable with my word, I will not take anything personally, I will not make assumptions, and I will do my best.”

Если вы занимаете руководящую должность, вы потеряете всякое уважение, когда что-то не будет сделано так, как должно быть сделано, и вместо того, чтобы набраться смелости и умения общаться, вы просто предполагаете все и начинаете относиться к людям как к мусору. If you had asked, who knows, you might have actually found out that the person is going through a divorce and your little task isn't really his number one priority right now. あなたが尋ねたなら、誰が知っているか、あなたは実際にその人が離婚を経験していて、あなたの小さな仕事が今のところ彼の最優先事項ではないことに気付いたかもしれません。 Se você tivesse perguntado, quem sabe, poderia realmente ter descoberto que a pessoa está se divorciando e sua pequena tarefa não é realmente sua prioridade número um agora.

THE FINAL AGREEMENT IS: ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST. ОКОНЧАТЕЛЬНОЕ СОГЛАШЕНИЕ: ВСЕГДА ДЕЛАЙТЕСЬ ОТ ВАС СИЛЬНО.

Your best is going to change from moment to moment but under any circumstance, simply do your best. Ihr Bestes wird sich von Moment zu Moment ändern, aber geben Sie unter allen Umständen einfach Ihr Bestes. O seu melhor vai mudar de momento a momento, mas em qualquer circunstância, simplesmente faça o seu melhor. Nobody abuses us more than we abuse ourselves, but if we simply do our best, we can avoid all the unnecessary self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret. Niemand missbraucht uns mehr als wir uns selbst, aber wenn wir einfach unser Bestes geben, können wir all die unnötige Selbstverurteilung, den Selbstmissbrauch und das Bedauern vermeiden. Ninguém abusa de nós mais do que abusamos de nós mesmos, mas se simplesmente fizermos o nosso melhor, podemos evitar todo o autojulgamento, autolesão e arrependimento desnecessários. These are the four agreements that I constantly break, but when I do, I just say, “Okay, I broke the agreement of being impeccable with my word. |||||||||||||||||||||||無可挑剔||| Dies sind die vier Vereinbarungen, die ich ständig breche, aber wenn ich es tue, sage ich nur: „Okay, ich habe die Vereinbarung gebrochen, mit meinem Wort tadellos zu sein. These are the four agreements that I constantly break, but when I do, I just say, “Okay, I broke the agreement of being impeccable with my word. Esses são os quatro acordos que sempre quebro, mas quando o faço, apenas digo: “Tudo bem, quebrei o acordo de ser impecável com minha palavra. I will start all over again. Vou começar tudo de novo. Today I will be impeccable with my word, I will not take anything personally, I will not make assumptions, and I will do my best.” Heute werde ich mit meinem Wort tadellos sein, ich werde nichts persönlich nehmen, ich werde keine Vermutungen anstellen und ich werde mein Bestes geben.“ Hoje serei impecável com minha palavra, não levarei nada para o lado pessoal, não farei suposições e farei o meu melhor. ”
