caballero reyes said:THE FOUR TOLTECAS AGREEMENTS
or the equivalent of how to advance in the "Fourth Way" according to G.
Here are a little more explanation: ;)
author said:1. Be flawless with your words.
This is the most important principle and the most difficult to fulfill. The words that come out of your mouth tell us who and how you are. Honor your words and you will honor yourself. If you honor your words, your self-esteem grows. Be consistent between what you think, what you say and what you do. If you do, you become respectable to others and you will respect yourself.
2. Nothing is personal
Whatever happens around you, nothing is personal. Neither the worst offense nor the worst offense. Nothing that others do is for you. They do it for themselves. As long as someone wants to hurt you, you hurt yourself and the problem is yours and not yours. If you make this principle a habit, you will not need to place your trust in what others do or say. It will only be enough for you to trust yourself and realize that you and only you are responsible for your actions.
3. Do not make assumptions.
Truth does not exist. Each of us has our truth. We tend to make assumptions about everything. We interpret what we see, hear and feel under our mental filters and often make us a dramatic film of a problem that may not exist. Do not give anything of course. If you have doubts, clarify them. If you have a suspicion, ask. Once you hear the answer, you will no longer have to make assumptions because you will know the truth. Accept others as they are without trying to change them. With clear and transparent communication, your relationships will improve.
4. Always strive to the maximum.
This principle is what allows the other three to become habit. Always strive. In all circumstances, always give the best of you. Always apply the right effort. If you strive to do more than you can, you will expend more energy than you can and your result will not be satisfactory. If you do not strive, if you do less than you can do, you will submit yourself to frustrations, judgments, and reproaches. Also make sure that as you strive, the ladder you climb towards success in your goals is leaning against the right wall. If you strive correctly you will be more productive and live intensely. You will know that you strive correctly when you enjoy what you do. When you do your best because you want to do it and not because you have to.
