Do You Know

Where you're going to?
Do you like the things
that life is showing you?

Go ahead . . . keep singing.

I have learned in my hundred or so years here,
that perception and assumptions
are not worth all the letters they embody.

Sometimes, we perceive a situation to be one way.
We are irate, upset, betrayed, befuddled, or confused,
because we do NOT go to the source and ask.
We conjure up our perceptions.
We toy with our assumptions.
And we end up making decisions,
sometimes LIFE decisions,
based on what inevitably turns out to be falsehoods.

If you feel slighted, hurt, abused, angry . . .
don't jump to any conclusions.
Swallow that pride.
Take a deep breath.
Go directly to the source
and ask the question you need answered.

It is hard to do, but the results
are infinitely more beneficial
than assuming and perceiving.

Good luck and God bless.
