In our first of a series of episodes discussing the principles laid out in the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, we are looking at the agreement to not make assumptions. Check out the show notes below for more details about the subjects covered!
Making assumptions can really get us in trouble. We never know what other people are going through and often we assume the worst and not the good
We can also assume people are just like us and then were disappointed or resentful
Often assumptions are our projections onto others
Don’t compare your insides to their outsides. We assume all is great and perfect or judge
Same with kids… be generous in your assumptions assume lack of skill -
Answer is to learn to communicate clearly, ask useful questions get off the defense
When we make assumptions it impacts our energy our mood and how with act and then people are on the defense with us ,not surprisingly
