Seek clarity through open communication instead of assuming from "summary" of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz,Janet Mills
In our interactions with others, we often make assumptions about their thoughts, feelings, and intentions. These assumptions can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and unnecessary suffering. When we assume, we are not seeking clarity through open communication. Instead, we are relying on our own interpretations and projections, which may not accurately reflect reality. By seeking clarity through open communication, we can avoid the pitfalls of assumptions. Open communication involves expressing our thoughts, feelings, and intentions honestly and listening actively to others. This allows us to clarify any misunderstandings, address any concerns, and build stronger relationships based on trust and understanding. When we choose to assume instead of seeking clarity through open communication, we are neglecting the power of our words and the importance of clear and honest communication. By assuming, we are making decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information, which can lead to negative consequences for ourselves and others. In order to break free from the cycle of assumption, we must commit to practicing open communication in all of our interactions. This means being willing to ask questions, seek clarification, and express ourselves honestly and openly. By doing so, we can cultivate deeper connections, foster mutual respect, and create a more harmonious and peaceful world.
