“While I thank you for the four agreements, I thank you on behalf of all the friends I've shared it with on behalf of my classes at the Open Wood Pre Leadership Academy. I thank you. And I would like to end with what you say on page 84, that you were born with the right to be happy. You were born with the right to love, to enjoy, and to share your love. You are alive, so take your life and and enjoy it. Don't resist life passing through you because that is God passing through you. You're saying God is life. Just your existence. I love this line. Just your existence proves the existence of God. Your existence proves the existence of life. And energy”

“So, not making assumptions. And then the fourth one, always do your best. That's one of the reasons why I gave this to my girls at school, because if you always do your best.”

“Say it on page 64 all the sadness and drama you have lived in your life was rooted in making assumptions and taking things personally. Everything revolves around either one or two of those, right? Taking it personally or assuming somebody is thinking the way that you do. I think women make this mistake a lot in relationships, all kinds of relationships, particularly with their spouses and boyfriends and all that, is that you think that person should know how you feel or what you're thinking. You think that person should know because they love you, they care about you, they know. Isn't that a huge one that people make all the time?”

“Don't make assumptions. Whoa boy, we make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions. We make the assumption that everybody sees life the way we do. Oh my goodness, how many times have I been in conversations with people and I say that's your point of view? You're assuming that everybody thinks like you. That's one of the biggest ones, isn't it?”

“Yeah, I think animals are just divine beings. I can see it, the divinity in them, because they're so fully present in every moment. My dogs are just dogs. They're just in whatever moment they're in. That's it.”

“It's a big lesson you have to learn, particularly when you're a public figure, and I know everybody else experiences it at their own level, but when you're a public figure, and I remember years ago when Ellen DeGeneres first interviewed you for O magazine, that's one of the things she was wrestling with at the time because she'd just come out and people were making all these judgments about her. And it's hard when you hear people say unkind things about you. And that's what I always think. You don't even know me. Why are you saying those things? Yes.”

“Okay, taking things personally, you say, is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything then is about me and everything isn't about me, everything is about whoever it is that's making the assumption. Right, yes”
2017-09-18 · Oprah's Super Soul · Don Miguel Ruiz: Find Freedom, Happiness and Love · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yes. My favorite of the four agreements is don't take things personally. And I know that's so hard for many people. But you say, and this really elevated my sense of consciousness when I first realized that, oh gee, I shouldn't be taking things personally because everything is coming from whoever is judging you or making assumptions about you. That's their point of view that you have absolutely nothing to do with it.”

“But forgiving means, in your turn, what you're saying is forgive meaning let it go. Do not be tied to the past. Forgiving does not mean you have to accept that you did that to me, and now it's okay”

“Yes, so your husband comes in and you're punishing him, you're punishing your kids, you're punishing everybody in your life for something that happened 20 years ago.”

“Just open to this page how many times do we pay for one mistake? The answer is thousands of times. The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake. The rest of the animals pay once for every mistake they make, but not us we have a powerful memory. We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty, we punish ourselves over and over and over. I mean, it's so simple, but so true. How many people are carrying the same tape in their head that says I'm not good enough, I'm not pretty enough, all the not enough in their lives”

“But isn't it true that when you are looking at a wrinkle or you're looking at whatever that you feel that isn't enough, that what is really living behind that energy is the fear that if I'm not enough, if I'm not pretty enough because I got too many wrinkles, or if I'm not strong enough because I'm not the athlete I used to be or whatever, that it's about I'm not going to be loved. I'm not going to be appreciated. I'm not going to be valued. That that's really what the fear is.”

“Yeah, you say ninety five percent of the beliefs we have stored in our minds are nothing but lies and we suffer because we believe all of these lies. How do we begin to store new information that is our own truth? How do we find our own truth? 95% of all the stuff that we've been told about ourselves, you say. How is 95% of what we believe not true?”

“Yeah. You know, I was thinking about that this morning. And because I knew I was going to be talking to you, it was one of the reasons I was late in the whole day, is because I had said to myself, I'm going to work out 30 minutes. Then I got on the treadmill and I realized, well, maybe I won't make it 30. And this is what I know. And I know many of you have done this too, who are listening to us in different places in the world. You are far more impactful. I find this for myself. I'm far more impeccable when it comes to other people than I am to myself. If I tell somebody I'm going to do something for them, I show up, I do it no matter what. If I tell myself, oh, I'm going to work out. I'm not going to eat that thing. I'm not going to do that anymore. I am not as impeccable with myself. And that's why this is such a powerful one. Because if you are impeccable with yourself, everything changes.”

“So let's talk about the first agreement. Be impeccable with your word. Being impeccable with your word is the correct use of your energy. It means to use your energy in the direction of truth and love for yourself. If you make an agreement with yourself to be impeccable with your word, just with that intention alone, the truth will manifest through you and clean all the emotional poison that exists within you. If you just did that one, Everything would change.”

“So when you had the heart attack, having had a near-death experience understanding that you weren't your body when you were much younger, were you afraid of dying?”
2017-09-18 · Oprah's Super Soul · Don Miguel Ruiz: Find Freedom, Happiness and Love · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“And the creator of the thought and not allowing yourself to be carried away by the thought. That's what you knew. That's what you recognize more profoundly when you had your car accident. By the time you have the heart attack, you're the first person I've ever interviewed that says everybody, come on, I'm getting ready to die. I want to show you how to do it.”

“Oh, you know, I had one of those moments. I had one of those moments. I was in Fiji and I was watching, sitting, watching the waves come to shore. And I was just sitting watching. And I had not just the realization, but the knowing that the ocean represented A metaphor for the body of God or all that is God and that we, each of us, all that is life, is a wave in that ocean of God. I saw myself, is that wave coming to shore and then coming to shore and then falling into the sand and forgetting, losing the sense that you were the wave that was a part of the ocean of God. Sort of like that. That's what you're talking about.”

“Thank you so much. So let's talk about how you came to write these four agreements. I know you come from a family legacy of shamans and teachers. And I think your grandparents, your parents always believe that even though you were a medical doctor, that what you have done with the four agreements, that you would end up passing this message. Of hope and inspiration onto people. How did you come to the four agreements?”

“spiritual awareness. Inspired to guide others on the spiritual path, Don Miguel wrote the four agreements. This is what I know for sure. If you just did these four things in your life, your life would change for the better for good. Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. Truly wisdom to live by. In nineteen ninety seven, the four agreements was published. I came to know about it around, I think, two thousand two thousand one Ellen DeGeneris was sitting on the show, and we were having a conversation. She mentioned it. I loved it so much. I featured it in the premier issue about magazine. When I opened my school in South Africa, it is the first book that I gave to my girls as a gift for them. I've taught from this book.”

“Born in 1952 in central Mexico, Don Miguel Ruiz was one of thirteen children, his mother and grandfather were spiritual healers, committed they were, to following the teachings of the Toltecs, an ancient Mexican culture that inspired the Aztecs centuries later. Don Miguel was expected to embrace his heritage and become a spiritual teacher also, but instead he chose a life of science and became a medical doctor. But in the late nineteen seventies he was in a near fatal car crash. He says he had a transcendent experience then and realized his consciousness existed beyond his physical body. More recently, he suffered two more life threatening events a mass of heart attack in two thousand two, followed by a heart transplant in two thousand ten. He says each of those experiences opened him to more profound levels of”
