Change your life - Steps to live by: week 3
PRINCIPLE NUMBER THREE:
DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
What does this mean? I am sure there are many perceptions of the meaning of this principle. Here is my perspective at this time.
To not make assumptions we need to stop letting our minds run the show!
When we do not know something, ASK. Do not assume you know what is meant by the words.
A dear friend of mine back in the early 70's told me when I would ask her a question, "I want to ask you a stupid question (ASSUMING she would think I was stupid, ignorant) her reply to me was "there is NO stupid question, it shows you want to learn." This was a very valuable lesion that I treasure to this day.
We observe people, situations, things and our mind creates a story, just what the mind does. This is the default setting that the mind runs on.
You see someone hurrying in traffic or on the sidewalk, you ASSUME they are late for work and should have left earlier. Where reality is totally different. The car in traffic is having a heated conversation on their cell phone or the passenger in the car and they are acting out of frustration. The person on the sidewalk is getting in some of their fast walk steps for the day.
ASK, do not assume you know what the real conversation is. Remember to ask is to show you want to learn and correctly understand. You will become know as a very good friend because you LISTEN and want to know WHAT they are saying.
This may seem like a piece of cake or the hardest thing you have to do. Work with this principle for the next two weeks, Incorporating it with principle number one and principle number two. (see previous posts)
You may want to sit with the words and see what does this mean to you? How often do I NOT live by this principle? Don't assume anything
Pay attention to your thoughts, your mind, notice where you are ASSUMING you know what is going on. This is the first step in changing your habit, your belief, your knee jerk reaction is acknowledging "Yes I do this. "
First recognizing it, then to make a conscious effort to change it. These Habits, knee jerk reactions, arguments are running your life by default. Take back your life, become your own author. Write your own story.
By now you have figured out that these are not a quick fix principles, it is life changing principles. We came to LIVE life not be lived BY life. Live your life by CHOICE not by default.
As you have incorporated/intergraded these principles into your life you will start seeing changes in your life. The Universe is working FOR you not against you. You start seeing more and more synchronicity in your life, pay attention, paying attention you will receive the guidance you are so hungry to receive. It has been there all along, you were to busy to listen or see.
The life you live is why you came, live by default or by choice. It is up to you.
Remember change your life - steps to live by week 3
