Communication

I don’t always say things in the best way possible. If I’m not careful, I can take things personally and end up feeling hurt. I am human and I embrace that, yet I continue the process of trying to always be better. To the best of my ability, I try to approach communication from a place of compassion. I find that when I am successful in doing this, then good things usually happen. I have no control over others and how they may react, so I strive to be understanding. It has been my experience that misunderstandings can take place when assumptions are made about the other person and/or their motives. When I am able to remove my assumptions about another person, then I seem to get closer to understanding. This is not always a straight line and often, it’s not pretty. I make my share of mistakes, and I make every attempt to own up to them.
