Assumptions. We all make them about other people all the time – we assume we know their motivations, what they are thinking and who they really are. And do you know what? It’s pretty much always wrong. Think what assumptions you make about the people in your life – partner, kids, ‘lazy’ work colleague etc. What would it be like to assume something more positive instead? Or accept we have no idea? Or better still to actually ask them and accept their answer as the truth?
