Essay / The Four Agreements - 524
How can the Four Agreements be stated? I can say that they are like a proverb of life. As we progress, the Four Agreements can be used as a gateway to a new and improved life. Before we can use these chords and bring them to life, we need to know each chord. Each chord has its own meaning and can change your thinking in various ways. The first agreement is “Be impeccable with your word.” This agreement can be interpreted in several ways. I interpret this to mean that we should always believe according to our own word, and not according to someone else's beliefs. Being impeccable with your word means always sticking to it and admitting to being wrong when you know it is the case. We must believe in our word, and it must always be positive. Our word is our belief and people can be affected by it. If we don't want to be the person whose beliefs are negative, then believe in the good.
