This is a letter to my two dearest sons and for whoever is willing
As you grow up and navigate through the ups and downs of life
I want you to remember some crucial values that Can transform your experience
The following Four Agreements will serve as a guide to help you
Navigate life with grace and wisdom

First
Be impeccable with your words
Speak with integrity and stay true to your beliefs
Your words have power and you can use them to uplift and inspire others
Use your words to bring positivity and love in the world
Words can hurt but can also heal
Choose the right ones
Dance

Second
Don't take anything personally
It will help you keep perspective when others treat you unkindly
Remember their behavior is a reflection of their own reality and it has nothing to do with you
Instead show compassion and generosity towards them and always strive to see the good in others
Laugh

Third
Don't make assumptions
Communicate honestly and openly without assuming the intentions of others
If you don't understand someone's behavior ask questions to clarify your doubts
True understanding comes from honest communication and it can strengthen your relationships
Misunderstandings can happen to anyone

Lastly
Always do your best
We are not perfect
When we do our best we avoid self-judgment and live without regret
It's essential to keep a positive attitude toward yourself
Believe in your abilities and cherish yourself for who you are
