Your Daily Focus: Contracts

03.09.2011 · Posted in Quotes / Daily Focus

There is never any need for a contract, you either agree to agree or you don’t.

Everything about signing a contract revolves around the phrase “we agree to agree.”  If you look at any contract that phrase is basically contained in the first paragraph, and essentially means that if the two parties agree, there is really no need for a contract. I’d like to show you that there is never any need for a contract.

So, the first paragraph contains the concept “we agree to agree.” The remaining 99 paragraphs contain the concept “here’s what we will do if we disagree.”  That’s the part the lawyers get paid to write.  Consider this concept deeper: planning what you will do if you disagree in essence means that when you wrote the contract you “agreed” what to do if you disagree in the future.  Well, that makes absolutely no sense at all. If a circumstance arose in the future about which you did not agree, do you think you would ever abide by an old idea of what you “agreed” to do if you don’t agree.  If you don’t agree, you will have no incentive to agree, now will you?

So why waste any of your time or money agreeing to what you will do if you someday don’t agree, which of course you will not agree to do what you previously agreed to do anyway, because you don’t agree!

If you have studied the law of attraction, you probably have come to believe that what you focus your attention upon expands, and thus the contract has actually the opposite effect than what you might first think.  The attorney will tell you that the contract will prevent conflict and disagreement.  The law of attraction states that if you focus on what to do if there is a conflict or disagreement, the likelihood of that conflict or disagreement significantly increases.

I suggest you save your time, save your money, and avoid the contract altogether. Go back to the one timeless solution that far outweighs the contract:  the simple handshake. Use the physical contact between two human beings that symbolizes respect and love for one another.

We all share this planet, and deep down we all know that we want to get along, and “play nice” like our mothers told us growing up.  We also know on a very deep level that there are enough resources here for all of us to thrive, and all at the same time.  So drop the contract negotiations and let’s get on with the thriving!

  1. I understand what you are saying. My thought is the written contract would clarify what you agree on so that there will be no misunderstanding. Make it a simple contract. Do away with the “what ifs”.

  2. Hi Jan, thanks for your comment. I often think the same way… just a clarification, an understanding. But I have found there is so much more freedom in just flying, just floating, just trusting. If you can get purely into that energy, and not focus on what might go wrong, it is really blissful. Knowing there is no wrong is al a part of it. And of course, wherever each of us is in the moment is just fine!
