To Listen, To Ask, or To Assume… Life revolves around these things when it comes to getting clarity of something being said by someone or something which has been clicking in your head since long. What do we usually do when someone has asked us something or if we are in confusion about someone or anything in life? We simply assume. Do we have the courage to ask our doubts, ask opinions? We are afraid of being judged by the other person. We are afraid that what if we look odd in front of others, a little less knowledgeable or less modern. Every single person reading this can relate to one incidence or many in their lives where they might have faced this situation of being afraid of the comments.
Let me tell you asking your doubts do not make your standards low but it clears many of our misunderstanding. We can get a clear vision of what people think, their way of thinking and to face the actual truth. Many a times in childhood or teenage we must have stepped back by asking our parents for a night out at friends place or going out for a movie, assuming that our parents would scold us and not allow. We are afraid of listening to NO, we afraid that our dreams would not come true. We can try asking once, more over we would listen to a no from them and get disheartened right, it is better than feeling conscious about it and staying indoors, developing negative thoughts about people or that particular thing which is not even true. A clear vision to anything is very important. By not asking, you are losing on something very beautiful, something which can be in your favor, and something which can let your soul free and live happily.
We deserve the best, but only because we are away from the concept of asking, communicating, clearing our misconceptions, we tend to look at the beautiful thing in life. Acceptance is the biggest thing one should adapt. We keep assuming till the last minute and develop negativity about others. Preconceived notions are what people are used to these days. Even at work, we believe it is ok to stay quiet and not clear our doubts rather than standing up for what you feel. May be if you keep your head high and communicate, many things can be solved and appreciated. It is to avoid conflicts and create strong relationships among each other. If we ask people would think they do matter to us, we can know their thoughts and know them even better. It is the way of understanding the world, they understanding us and us together changing towards being better. We can solve many problems by just asking or conveying what we feel. I also request people to listen to what the other has to say rather than judging and passing your final word. Every human being has different situation or life to live, we cannot be the same. We can understand their situations only when we try to walk in their shoes. Assumptions and being judgmental will only keep you away from people and spoil your relations.
PS: Power of asking is equal to Power of resolving.
