What if I say that every little thing you believe in is not true. I am not saying it’s wrong or right; I am saying it is not true. Okay, so here is a reality check that all your beliefs are being led on a foundation of rumors spread and further believed by society.

For example: When I was a little girl, everyone used to compare my skin color with the other girls in my family. As a result, I started believing that only fair girls are beautiful and became under-confident. My belief was built on what society told me that “dark complexion isn’t beautiful.” Now, this belief is what we call an agreement.

Alike this, You and I have made many other agreements with ourselves on a deeper level.

Unfortunately, most people don’t even realize that their incapability of doing something is nothing but an agreement they have made based on what people told them.

Just look within your mind and you will realize that all your beliefs/agreements are being decided by others around you, right from your definition of success to death, everything was pre-decided for you. You just started believing in those things.

To challenge all your old beliefs and break them, Don Miguel Ruiz has come up with a powerful book, The 4 agreements. The book introduces what agreements are, breaks your old beliefs and suggests 4 life-changing agreements that if you make with yourself, you can be anything you want.
