Avoid assumptions

Maybe you would have still been in talking terms with that person if you both had sat down and talked about things maturely.

A lot of us have lost promising and beautiful relationships because of our inability to speak up about what and how we feel. We allowed our assumptions dictate for us and we became consumed by it.

Assumptions do no good but rather it poisons our mind. Assumptions will come but what you do with it is what counts. Do you allow it control you? Does dictate your actions and inactions?

The best thing to do when assumptions arise in your mind is to communicate; speak up. Sit the other person down and talk about things maturely. Speak about what you feel immediately. Try not to allow so much space and time come in. The longer your assumptions live in your mind, the higher the chance of more problems coming in.

Assumptions are inevitable but speak about it whenever it comes. Communication is important to any and every relationship. Give your relationship a boost by being open and speaking out more.

Have a happy Thursday
