The fourth agreement: Always do your best
The last agreement ties the other three together. It is the one habit you need to maintain all the previous three.
The fourth agreement is to always do your best — no more, no less. It’s important to understand the last part of that sentence: No more, no less.
Here’s what happens if you violate the rule. Trying to go beyond your best will drain you of energy. It will leave you tired and dissatisfied. But doing less than your best breeds self judgement and a heavy sense of self condemnation that results from knowing you could have done better.
⚡️Always do your best — no more, no less.
The key to lasting happiness and energy is to always do your best in every situation you find yourself.
A lot of people do what they do for the reward and not because they like the activity. This is a wrong way to approach life; it should be the other way round. Do the things that you love, and the reward will come.
Working for a reward is the reason many people are frustrated with their work life. It’s not a bad idea to quit a job you don’t like, or better still, develop a passion for it. Love is a powerful force, and miracles happen whenever it’s at work.
⚡️Loving what you do will multiply your productivity. That’s just how life works.
Doing your best is a great habit to have, and you should cultivate it. How to do that?
Make a commitment to yourself to always deliver your best in every situation. Soon you’ll find that it turns into a powerful habit.
