Of course. Check out the 25 minute overview in the app with the Philosopher's Note. Be impeccable with your word. Words create reality. Use them to speak truth. Build others out and avoid gossip or self criticism. Don't take anything personally. What others say or do is a reflection of them, not you. Let go of unnecessary suffering by refusing to take offense. Don't make assumptions. Assumptions create misunderstandings. Seek clarity by asking questions instead of filling in the blanks. And always do your best. Your best will vary day to day, but if you give your full effort in every moment, you'll live without regret. Master these four agreements and you'll create a life of joy, freedom and authenticity. Which one will you focus on today?
