Interpretations

Published by garryblanson at 1:02 pm under Blogs

               They say,”beauty is in the eye of the

beholder.”Well,when it comes to interpretations;

“interpretations are distorted by the thoughts in

your mind.”

What I mean by this is,whatever

thoughts you’re thinking while doing things ,

will cause a direct effect on your interpretation.

   This is one of the reason’s why we must be

careful to listen closely when people are trying 

to communicate with us. Listening and hearing

are two different  species.Just because you hear

someone when they’re speaking ,it doesn’t

mean that you were listening to them.

  Listening is a skill that one must practice daily.

The more you practice listening,the better you

become at listening.When you don’t listen to

what is being said,your thoughts get thrown in

with the information and you generally get the

wrong interpretation of what was said.

       Otherwise known as misinterpretation.

Misinterpretations happen all the time[mostly

when we fail to listen properly].We call this a

lack of communication.Lack of communication is

very disruptive,and is the cause of many of our

misunderstandings.Once again,if we would just

listen;we would avoid many of these false

interpretations.Therefore,we can see how

valuable listening is to interpreting.

    Many times when a person comes to us with

 a problem.All they really want is for someone

to listen to them.

         You see, listening  is how we get the proper

 ”  interpretation.”

    This is very true. Our senses are often distracted and distorted by our own thoughts and feelings towards the speaker and the content of their speech. Words themselves can have double or triple meanings so that adds to the misinterpretations.

    I am listening to you speak while I am reading you. I am happy you do not shout while you are writing. That would make the interpretation a bit different also I think.

    Hey there Garry…yeah, becoming a good listener is no small feat. I believe it takes the keen ability to mute the EGO….that voice in your head (thoughts) that’s always “right” and tells you you already know what the person is going to say and what they mean.

    I keep duck tape over my ego’s mouth…she’s a fiesty something lol :)!
