Be careful while using your words:

Regardless of what language we speak, our intent manifests through the word. What we dream, what we feel, and what we really are, will all be manifested through the word. Like a sword with two edges, our word can create the most beautiful dream, or our word can destroy everything around us. When we use the right words, we take responsibility for our actions, and we do not judge or blame ourselves. We can lead a better life with positive affirmations. Words are not just words it has the power to change life.

Don’t take anything personally:

If someone makes any comment good or bad, you don’t need to take it personally, because the truth is that this person is dealing with his or her own feelings, beliefs, and opinions. You only need to trust yourself to make responsible choices. You are not responsible for the actions of others, you are only responsible for yours.

Don’t Make any assumptions:

We make an assumption, we misunderstand, we take it personally, and we end up creating a whole big drama for nothing. Making assumptions leads to overthinking which may lead to mental health and relationship issues.
Real love is accepting other people the way they are without trying to change them. Just imagine the day that we stop making assumptions with our partner and eventually with everyone else in our life, our way of communicating will change completely, and our relationships will no longer suffer from conflicts created by mistaken assumptions.

Always do your best:

Doing our best is a great habit to have. If you do your best always, over and over again, you will become a master of transformation. Practice makes the master. When you do your best you learn to accept yourself. But you have to be aware and learn from your mistakes. Learning from your mistakes means you practice, look honestly at the results, and keep practicing. This increases your awareness.
When we honor these four agreements together, there is no way that we will live in hell. If we are careful while using our words, if we don’t take anything personally, if we don’t make assumptions, if we always do our best, then we are going to have a Beautiful Life.
