“Be Impeccable with your word: speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz describes how we can expose self-limiting beliefs through a simply and effective code of personal conduct learned from his Toltec ancestors.
The first and most important of the four agreements is to “be impeccable with your word”.
Following this agreement alone can be amazingly powerful.
It can move us from being stuck in a stream of incessant thinking back to consciousness and presence. It allows us to become aware of our egoic mind and shines a light on our inner critic who loves to constantly run us down.
The Four Agreements is worth reading and worth remembering.
The first agreement alone to “be impeccable with your word” can open up infinite possibilities to you.
P.S. The other three agreements are: Don’t take anything personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best.
