Don't Take Anything Personally.
Don't Make Assumptions.
Always Do Your Best.

Domestication: Part 1
In Part 1 of this 2-part video, we learn about the “domestication” of humans and how all the rules and values of our family and society are imposed on us through a punishment and reward system. The Four Agreements help us to break self-limiting agreements and replace them with agreements that bring us freedom, happiness, and love.
Domestication: Part 2
Part 2 of this 2-part video teaches us about the Book of Law that rules our mind and the inner judge that makes us suffer because we never measure up to our “image of perfection.” All of our normal tendencies are lost in the process of domestication, and we begin to search for what we have lost. We search for freedom because we are no longer free; we search for happiness because we are no longer happy; we search for beauty because we no longer believe we are beautiful. What we are searching for is our “self.”
