The Four Agreements
First Agreement: Fellowship
Fellowship with noble ideas and thoughts. They will transcend you into your divine self, your best self. A character of nobility is a result of holding noble ideas and fellowshipping with divine thoughts. Intentionally make it as a rule to fellowship with noble thoughts. Thoughts can transcend you into a noble state or descend you into your worst form. Isn’t this why the wise king Solomon advises that we should guide our heart with all diligence that out of it are the issue of life?
Second Agreement: Faith
Turn thoughts into action. Let thoughts of nobility guide and animate you. The right application of thought and ideas causes a kind of physical manifestation of what we think and fellowship with. If you keep letting noble thoughts animate the actions you take, soon you will see it manifest. What a tragedy it will be then if one decides to let negative thoughts animate them.
Third Agreement: Persistent
I should have said "Consistent action" but you already know that by now. So here you go " persistent action" man. Insist!
Life will test your resolve. Persistently align noble thoughts with right actions. Life doesn't easily give in to our demands, however, if your actions and your thoughts are in harmony persistently, it will give way after testing your resolve. Who knows, maybe someday you will tell the story of how reality becomes a man's ally when he fellowship with noble thoughts and take the required action.
Fourth Agreement: Self Knowledge
The Greeks have this saying "Man, know thyself" Know your strengths and weaknesses. They will give you hints on what your unfair advantages are.
Not all pain and suffering are necessary. However, there are pain that are necessary but ignorance can cause you unnecessary pain and suffering. When we take stock of our strengths and weaknesses. As a matter of nobility, you must decide to know yourself so you do not perish because of lack of self-knowledge.
