One of the major problems we have in the world today is that we assume a lot; especially by thinking for others. Assumptions has been a major tool in the destruction of so many relationships.
We go "oh, what if I call her and she reads this as something else";
"oh, what if I send a message to him and he starts to feel important";
"If I say "hi", she might just think I want her money. I mean I haven't said that to her in a long time".
"What if this, what if that." Enough!!!why not pick up the phone and call to be sure he/she is fine.
Why not pick up that phone and send that message just because you care and forget what he or she might think or feel. Why not pick up that call even if you know what he might say, funny enough the response is most times not what we think.
This has happened to me many times, I go, "I know what he wants to say, I won't pick up...blah blah" and when I finally decide to pick up, It's just not what I thought it would be.
Overtime, I have come to realise that assumptions like that have been the cause of major problems I have with people. I am very guilty of this too and I am still working on it. No one is perfect, we keep growing and learning from experiences. Let's try not to ignore the fact that we have to at the very least try to make it work.
Don't just feel reluctant and say "well, there's no point trying". From trying, you just never know what your testimony will be. Good luck!!!
