Assumptions
There are some assumptions that you have no choice but to
make, and they can at times be helpful. Many assumptions,
though, just get in the way.
When you assume that a task will be difficult, you'll likely
make it even more difficult than it otherwise would have
been. When you assume that something will be easy, that can
lead to needless frustration and dismay when unexpected
challenges arrive.
Instead of putting your energy into making assumptions, put
that energy into being fully aware. Pull away the mask of
your assumptions, and there is much you'll suddenly be able
to see.
Rather than assuming what you'll find around the next bend,
make the journey and experience what is really there.
Instead of assuming how someone will be, make the effort to
truly get to know that person.
When you assume, realize full well that you're doing it. And
know that you could indeed be wrong.
Are there assumptions you hold that could be holding you
back? Look beyond them and find much value in what is really
there.
