Always Do Your Best

In the last posts we have been highlighting The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz as a guideline for improving both life and business results. The first three agreements reviewed were Be Impeccable with Your Word; Don’t Take Anything Personally; and Don’t Make Assumptions.

The final agreement is Always Do Your Best. Having a commitment to this agreement means not cutting corners or just getting by. It is being intentional about putting in full effort to develop and apply your skills and effort to what you have said you would do. It also implies you need to be your best by maintaining physical, mental and spiritual vitality. The author summarizes it this way. “Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.” 

The four practices are at once simple and difficult. Initially they are quite challenging but when learned and fully integrated into your way of being they are powerful and life changing.
