I’m excited! After weeks of planning, reading comments, and waiting, the PhilosophersNotes Challenge finally starts.
And we have 1442 people participating. That’s at least 442 over our goal.
I know you’re all really excited to start (so am I) so let me present to you the first Note that you will be studying today.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
“You need a very strong will in order to adopt the Four Agreements – but if you can begin to live your life with these agreements, the transformation in your life will be amaz- ing. You will see the drama of hell disappear right before your very eyes. Instead of living in a dream of hell, you will be creating a new dream – your personal dream of heaven.”
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements
Just log into the PhilosophersNotes membership area and download the Note. After you’ve gone through it (via audio or PDF), just come back here and drop a comment on your key learnings, how this has affected your day, and any other opinions and thoughts you might have.
Brian’s also made a really cool video for today’s Note. Check it out below.

In it, you’ll go through the 4 Agreements. Really awesome stuff. And at the very end, Brian’s got a BIG question for you.
- Be Impeccable w/Your Word
- Don’t Take Anything Personally
- Don’t Make Assumptions
- Always Do Your Best
Of course, your discussions aren’t limited. Talk about anything and everything. Whether you agree or disagree, like it or not, I want you to talk, debate, discuss.
Oh, and for all you Twitter users, don’t forget the hashtag when you’re talking about PhilosophersNotes: #50days
I can’t wait to read your comments and better yet, I can’t wait to see what kind of growth will take place for everyone doing the Challenge.
