▶ The 3rd Agreement Don't Make Assumptions is about finding the courage in yourself to ask all necessary questions even the tough ones in all important situations. It is about expressing what you really want in your life and not tiptoeing around it. The goal of the 3rd Agreement is to avoid misunderstandings, drama and therefore sadness as much as you can.

Quote: "With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life"
-Don Miguel Ruiz

The 4 Agreements was an often requested book and I think I would never have picked it up if you guys had not recommended it to me mainly because of the full name of the book: The 4 Agreements - A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom a Toltec Wisdom Book.
The first time I read this title I thought it is one of these esoterical / new age self-help books which I usually only pick up from time to time and also read with a lot of skepticism but the 4 agreements turned out to be different.
In my opinion, Don Miguel Ruiz wrote a book about modern linguistics and surprisingly based it on many interesting philosophical concepts like how language creates our belief system and therefore our personal reality that each of us uses to interact with the world so to speak. Usually, books about this topic feel very dry but not this one he managed to never let you feel that this is actually a scientific text. He made it so that it is a fun and fascinating read and something that you will be thinking of for some time.
Reading it felt like a little journey and I tried to also give this mini-series that intriguing, inspiring, thought-provoking feeling that I got when reading the 4 Agreements.

Another Quote from the 4 Agreements that I like a lot:
“If you live in a past dream, you don't enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self pity, suffering and tears.”
- Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

I think this is an important agreement bc if you make assumptions you will quickly take things personally.

Quote from the 3rd Agreement Don't Make Assumptions:
“If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.”

Will you also do the other chapters of the book since you did the introduction?

We humans want to know everything in our world and when something comes around that we don't know we make assumptions.
Everyone is doing that but there is a lot of power to learn the skill of not making any assumptions or at least know that you've made assumptions and that they are possibly wrong and don't reflect reality.

I guess this takes some time. :/
