Facts are different from assumptions. It is so easy to get caught up in what we want to believe versus what is really true.
Facts keep us awakened to truth even when difficult to hear or to accept.
The current trend in human interaction is a passive one. We lead busy distracted lives that keep us moving quickly past the next thing after thing, with very little attention to details that matter.
Assumptions breed misunderstandings that can spiral out of control. It can be disheartening to deal with the disappointing fall out of what we choose to believe based upon what we assume to think we hear or understand.
While assumptions have the potential to dream weave in round about ways with half facts, mindful observance and active listening keep us awakened to realities we can build our lives upon.
"Ask if you need to, but don't assume. Sometimes our bad feelings are only assumptions and speculations doing dark dances in our heads." ~ Bonnie Lyn Smith
As passive listeners, we can miss the verbal and physical communication cues adding layers to conversations that make messages crystal clear. Sometimes we want to hear yes so much so, we ignore the no hidden within.
"You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires." ~ Robert Greene
Assumptions cloud our responses and make us vulnerable to building houses made of cards on sandy foundations. It takes courage to listen for painful truths, but the pain of a crumbling dream house built on shaky ground is far worse.
