Assumptions

Once I had manager
She was all heart
A good one

She told me
I need to stop making assumptions about why people act a certain way
Think a certain way
Or behave a certain way

“You do not know what is happening in there personal life”

She was right

Our assumptions get us into trouble
They will lead us down the wrong path

Everyday I go to work
I have certain assumptions about how that day is going to go
Positions people will take
Work people will do
And in general these things do not happen

Other things happen

And of course I get angry
Disappointed
Upset

Why?

Because my assumptions were not met

What a curse to put on oneself

To constantly set hurdles
Benchmarks to be met before you can be at peace

These assumptions, hurdles, obstacles if you will
Are big reason for my daily angst and stress
No assumptions

People will do what they do
And you will do what you do
No assumptions
As to why

No assumptions
To explain the quality

No assumptions to explain the punctuality

No assumptions
People are people
And what will happy
Will happen

Go in fresh each day
Clean slate
Full of love and with no assumptions

Go in and do your best with no assumptions

Go in and do your best and don’t take it personally
With no assumptions

Go in
With no assumptions
