We are all coming at life and our view of others from the filter of our own experiences. From this "box" we find ourselves in, it can be very difficult to fully understand what others are trying to say. We want those close to us, in whatever context, to GET what we want and what we want them to do or be. Letting go of that need to control others and understanding, that the only control is over ourselves can lead to better communication where we try to actually listen, step aside from our own point of view and understand what is really being said by another. Understand that you control only yourself View others as having their own unique set of circumstances which will influence their communications Learn to let go of judgement and replace it with an effort to understand and compromise Discover how to communicate in a more thoughtful and productive manner.
