I’ve realized how easy it is for me to assume that I’m in the right when I have discussions with others. It may not even be that I assume I’m right about the discussion, but I assume my heart and mind are in the right spot.
After all, how could we think we’re not in the right?
I’ve realized that this kind of an attitude is a destructive thing when looking at entering into a relationship because you often will assume you are in the right mindset and the other person isn’t.
If we wish to continue having open discussions, we must open ourselves up to being wrong. Even if we are not, being willing to humble yourself and listen to the other will get you much further than being closed off.
