“We don't need to invest all of our faith in every concept, in every symbol, in every opinion that forms the totality of our knowledge. Faith means to believe in something 100% without a doubt, and to doubt our own knowledge can seem like the most frightening thing that can happen to us.” NeedsBelieveMeanSeemsHappensFormOpinionDoubtConceptsSymbolsFrighteningTotality Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz

“As a kid, I succumbed to peer pressure; I created an image of myself that was not true. But that belief system ended with the death of a close friend. It was then that I reached out for help from my father. It wasn't the teachings of The Four Agreements exactly, it was just my father's teachings in general. And because of this, I am grateful to continue my family's legacy. In this way, I say "thank you" to my family and teachers before me.” WayHelpingKidsFatherBeliefTeacherFourTeachingMy FamilyPressureGratefulLegacyAgreementPeersBelief SystemsClose FriendsPeer PressureSaying Thank YouI Am GratefulFour Agreements Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz
“I had a massive heart attack, and in my belief that I was close to dying, I took the opportunity to teach my son about death. That lesson increased his faith in such a way that he completely accepted all the changes that life brings us. He learned that only the present exists. From that moment on, he began living in the present time, knowing that the future is just a possibility, and without believing all the opinions from the past. He understood that there are no guides, or masters. Each one of us is our own guru, and we can only save ourselves.” WayBelieveHeartMomentsPastOpportunityBeliefOpinionTeachKnowingDyingPossibilitySonMastersLessonsUnderstoodGuidesAcceptedMassiveThat MomentMy SonGuruLive In The PresentPresent TimeHeart Attack Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz
“Be skeptical, but not as a social position, not claiming to be so intelligent that you cannot believe what other people say. It's not about being right and making everybody else wrong. No, you are skeptical because you know without a doubt that everybody lives in their own story, and in their story they have their own truth. But it's only truth in their mind, just as your truth is only truth in your mind, and nobody else's.” PeopleKnowsMindBelieveStoriesSocialDoubtPositionTruth IsIntelligentSkeptical Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz
“"Don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anybody else." Don't believe me, because what I say is only truth for me. Don't believe yourself, because most of the time what you tell yourself is only truth for you - especially when you tell yourself that you're not good enough, you're not intelligent enough, you're not beautiful enough - when you reject yourself before anybody else can reject you. And don't believe anybody else, because what they say is only truth for them.” BelieveEnoughBeautifulIntelligentDon't BelieveBelieve In YourselfRejectsGood EnoughBelieve In MeNot Good EnoughRejects You Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz

“The only way to change the world is to change the main character of our story - the one we believe that we are. If we change the main character, if we respect ourselves, then just like magic, all the secondary characters will change.
