Do Not Make Assumptions

Here we go with week three of Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements.

His third agreement is: Do Not Make Assumptions.

You may have heard the old saying...

When you assume, you make an "ass out of u and me."

As I've learned, we don't know what's going on in other people's lives.

We may think we do, but we really don't.

And they don't know what's going on with ours either.

So instead of assuming we know what's going on, let's ask questions. Let's get clarification.

You might be surprised.

Especially if they have a look on their face that tells us they're upset.

It probably has nothing to do with you. They just got something else going on.

So, this week let's practice Ruiz's third agreement and not make assumptions.

And if you're curious to read Don Miguel Ruiz's book, the full title is The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book). 

I hope you have an amazing day!
