One thing I’ve learned about myself is how quickly I can decide what something means.
Somebody says something. Somebody does something. My mind can have the whole story written before I’ve asked one question. 😂
I’ve learned to slow that down.
Ask more. Tell less.
Before I tell myself what somebody meant, I can ask.
Before I decide why my child did something, I can ask.
Before I assume my wife should know what I need, I can ask.
And sometimes the person I need to question is me.
What am I assuming right now?
What else could be true?
Bring those moments here.
We’re students. We don’t have to know everything. We just have to stay curious.
