The Four Agreements Selected Quotes V

-What really make the difference is action.
-Under any circumstance, always do your best, no more no less.
-Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best will sometimes be high quality, and other times it ill not be as good.
-Your best will depend on whether you are feeling wonderful and happy, or upset, angry or jealous.
-If you do your best there is no way you can judge yourself.
-Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you are expecting a reward. Most people do exactly the opposite: they only take action when they expect a reward, and they don't enjoy the action. And that's the reason why they don't do their best. They are working for the reward, and as a result they resist work.
-On the other hand, if you take action just for the sake of doing it, without expecting a reward, you will find that you enjoy every action you do. Rewards will come, but you are not attached to the reward. You can even get more than you would have imagined four yourself without expecting a reward. If we like what we do, if we always do our best, then we are really enjoying life. We are having fun, we don't get bored, we don't have frustrations.
