Leaping into curiosity or judgment can be a trap when we don’t have all the facts. Often, we mistake our feelings for facts and make assumptions. Creating stories and believing them as our truth. And if we are not careful, it can impact our perspective and shift our perception of reality.
When we make an assumption, it quickly turns to judgment which is controlled by our emotions instead of logic and is not driven by wisdom or discernment.
The next time you find yourself jumping to conclusions, try to decide if you’re acting based on feelings or facts. Recognize the voice that’s making up the story. Self-awareness is the key to keeping you grounded and stopping you from leaping to assumptions.
