“Don't blame others for your assumption of their actions; the best resolution is to simply ask.”

“Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best.”

“I think it's very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you're responsible for your actions, so you don't blame other people.”

“If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.”

“Don't hang on to old hurts. You can spend your years blaming God, blaming other people. But in the end it was a choice.”

“Being generous often consists of simply extending a hand. That's hard to do if you are grasping tightly to your righteousness, your belief system, your superiority, your assumptions about others, your definition of normal.”
