1. Be impeccable with your word. 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.
2. Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune tot the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. 
3. Don't make assumptions. Find the courage to ask quesitons and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when ou are healthy as poososed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. 
5. Be sceptical but learn to listen. Don't believe yourself or anybody else. Use the power of doubt to question everything you hear: is it really the truth? Listen to the intend behind words and you will understand the true message.
