“The Belief System is Like a Book of Law that Rules Our Minds” – Don Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreements is one of the many books that have created a monumental shift in my thinking.

This week's Monday Mindset from the DC Local Leaders Podcast features Agreement No.1: Be Impeccable With Your Word.
The Four Agreements starts off by describing to us how we form beliefs.
Ruiz refers to the world we live in as a shadow world or a Fog of Life that the ancient Toltecs refer to as "Mitote". Often referred to in yoga as "Maya" meaning Illusion.
The formation of beliefs is what he calls the Domestication of Humans.
From a young age, we didn’t have the opportunity to choose our own beliefs.
We simply adopted the beliefs of the world we entered and the other Humans around us.
Unknowingly, we made several Agreements to believe in the Dream of the World and live in the Fog.
We didn’t know any better because everyone around us was also living the same Dream and… We don’t know what we don’t know.
Once we begin to question our thoughts and the origin of our beliefs, we are able to free ourselves from the fog.
We begin to live as our Authentic selves and leave the Dream that was layered on by the world.
We can develop a new belief system that gives us the freedom to measure up to whom we want to be rather than that of the "Mitote"
Don Miguel Ruiz offers us Four Agreements as a path to Personal Freedom.
