Choose Understanding Over Assumptions (1)

CHOOSE UNDERSTANDING OVER ASSUMPTIONS (1)

We could have noticed how people tend to think that anyone driving faster than they are is a reckless maniac, while anyone driving slower is an inconsiderate or incompetent driver.
The interesting part is that almost everyone believes their own speed is the correct one.

This simple observation reveals some truths about human nature.

We assume our opinions are the most reasonable, our experiences are the most valid, and our conclusions are the most accurate.

This attitude is carried into our homes, workplaces, places of worship, communities, and even our friendships

Anyone who thinks differently is quickly labeled as ignorant, stubborn, or misguided.

One of the greatest causes of conflict is not our differences but our unwillingness to understand those differences.

We defend our opinions before we have sincerely considered another person's perspective.
Pride closes our ears, while humility opens our hearts.
