Be creative with your interpretations
Continuing with our series on the timeless wisdom of Imam Ali (as), the quote for today is: "Do not think of anyone's statements as evil if you can find it capable of bearing good".
It is clear that what people say to us and how we interpret their statements are two distinct parts of each communication.
When our emotional bank account with a person is low, it is easy to interpret what they say more negatively than they intend. We can pause, notice this tendency and choose to give it a positive interpretation. Give them the benefit of the doubt, so to speak.
Being creative and positive with our interpretations of another's words and actions takes intentionality and practice. Over time, it can become a habit.
A habit that brings more positivity into our lives and improves our relationships.
Worth a try, don't you think?
