Tell Yourself Today – Listen To The *Intention* Instead Of…

Sometimes…we really misunderstand our friends.

And sometimes, we simply have to wonder…just what the hell were they thinking when they acted as they did?

C'mon, admit it…you're nodding your head there!  🙂

Well, I've learned over the past couple centuries the fact that actions, while speaking louder than words, can also be woefully misunderstood as well.

  • For example, you might like sending supportive texts to your friends, and they kinda sorta hate them.  But they never take the time to express that to you, thus getting themselves more pissed at you when all you wanted to do was make them happy.
  • Or your friend might have said/written what are, to you, hurtful words. But to your friend, they simply didn't know how *else* to compel you to listen…and were at the end of their rope.  They could have chosen to abandon you, but they value you too much…and alas, their words were received the extreme wrong way.

Miscommunications…they suck.  Big time.

Thus today, tell yourself you'll try to listen to and understand the *intentions* that drove the actions.

Friendship is 'way too valuable to lose because of negative thoughts…especially when those intentions originated straight from the heart.

Grow strong,
