Stop Assuming

by Bert Oliva

How often do you assume? How often do you think people are thinking one thing when they are actually thinking another?

So much of our lives are spent reacting to what we think others are doing and their motives for doing it, when in actuality they are totally oblivious to what it is they are doing.

The best way to solve this communication error is to simply ask. Ask someone. Do not react, but act.

Do not come at them from a blaming or accusatory attitude. When we come from a defensive place, we are only met with defensiveness and blame.

Simply come from honesty. When we come from an open heart and an honest place, most people will return those emotions. And we will all have clarity.

So, stop assuming. Just ask.
