The Big 10 Ideas


THE FOUR AGREEMENTS - Don Miguel Ruiz


1. Simple Does Not Mean Ineffective
“The definition of a genius is taking the complex and making it
simple” -Albert Einstein
This book “too simple” or “we already know this” Reviews on
Amazon - BASIC. Writing style of 4th grader / etc Often times
easier to write something off then practice fundamentals (health
hacks / tactics vs. fundamentals). Yes, these 4-agreements you
have heard in some way before, have we lived them? Internalized
them? Reminded of them.


2. Be Impeccable With Your Words
Your word is your bond. Words are most powerful force we have. In
book: words spell cast on people - double edged, used to uplift
or tear down. Why? because words implant thoughts witch can lead
to beliefs and turn into actions. Your words influence.


3. Don’t Take Anything Personally
Nothing anyone does is because of us. Example:
BAD DAY: missed deadline / hung over / 5 hours sleep / stressed -
how would you treat your wife?
GOOD DAY: got promotion / paycheck / saw friends at lunch - how
would you treat your wife?
Same person, same situations - two totally different moods
because of a day. Two different outcomes. Nothing anyone does is
because of us.


MARCUS AURELIUS: tell us not to worry about the opinion of other
people who don’t even have a good opinion of themselves! He tells
us: “The approval of such men, who do not even stand well in
their own eyes, has no value for him.” Only reason we take things
personally are because we agree with them! “You are stupid” -
only bugs us if we let it in + agree.


4. Don’t Make Assumptions
When you assume it makes an “Ass-“ out of “-ume”
EX: Me with politics and voters book. Blind guy I thought was
douche bag. All had story made up in our head about someone
wronging us, play it out - full conversation. When they say X
i’ll say Y. Job / boss / workplace / etc. Ever happened and then
they were nice about it? Feel awful. Catch yourself making
assumptions.


5. Always Do Your Best
Louis CK bit: do your job - isn’t it worse?
Will change moment to moment but still give whatever your best is
that day. (energy flux / mood flux / season flux / etc)
