Isn't it funny how words are sometimes misunderstood. Over the past few days, I have this happen to me on more than one occasion. Perhaps I need to reevaluate my communication style.....nahhhh it can not be that because I am perfect---lol!!! I have to admit that when I do speak with people, I listen to more than just the words, I pay close attention to the facial features, body language and tone of the words being spoken. We have all have heard the saying that actions speak louder than words no doubt, but I really believe it.
I won't get into deep details on this topic, but I will say that if you go into a conversation with out your thinking cap on, you may hear what you want. In fact, I love those reality shows on VH1 and I can clearly see it there, where someone over hears his/her name and then run wild with what assume was said. Then again, they may just want TV time.
It is easier to see it in others but the key in seeing it in ourselves. This is my plan to handle my situations, I am gonna ask my listeners to repeat back in their words what they heard and kill the assumption monster. Heck its Monday again and I am feeling pretty darn good about life!!
I am Ward
