“I know”, this is a phrase which we repeat very often. But how many times we can really say that we know? Do we take it seriously what we say, or we just say because we don’t want to say that we don’t know. So, it’s very important to think before we say, “I know”. Let’s try not to say, “I know”, to save our ego. There is no shame in saying that I don’t know. Even some basic things. Be honest to say that “I don’t know”. The phrase, “I know” is a responsibility. Especially when we are dealing with people and their emotions, we should be extra careful to say, “I know”, because it is often a judgement.

When we are afraid to face a situation, we also want others to participate in that fear. Then all our perceptions about that situation are interpreted by this fear and our explanations are conditioned by this fear. It’s here we must understand our fear to overcome it. It’s natural to have fears. But it’s important that don’t let your fears take control of you. Find out the fears and verify whether you are controlling the fear, or the fear is controlling you. Have the courage to control your own fear.

“You don’t understand”, this is a key phrase we hear from people who wants to put us down, especially when they repeat it. This is a phrase of attack. Never say this. But in case you must say this, think 100 times before. Because it can be that I did not explain something well and that is why the other party did not understand. Then when someone is saying this to you, “You don’t understand”, don’t defend yourself. Because often this phrase is a sign of desperation and impatience. Don’t doubt your capacity of understanding or yourself. Be calm and understand the intention of the person. Then you will see the whole picture. So, whenever you hear this phrase, “You don’t understand”, it is not that you must understand what he or she says, but that you must understand the person who says that.

Whenever there is a possibility of improving yourself, don’t make it just a cosmetic improvement. Go deep into yourself and make the change. Go deep where you are along with yourself, accept the defect, make the change, and come out with the transformation. Reducing the possibility to change yourself into just a cosmetic change is losing the possibility to make a real difference in life. These opportunities come with different kind of experiences, sometimes pleasant sometimes unpleasant. Just embrace it, go deep, make the change. Be better yourself.

Our perspectives and interests create filters through which we see the reality. So, what we see could be different from the actual reality. Upon the filtered reality we try to construct and create our world. But that world could be far away from the reality because it was constructed on the filtered reality. Therefore, it’s important to recognize our filters to see the actual reality.

We can build our relationships based on our rights or duties. But it’s better to build it over our duties than our rights. Unfortunately often our rights try to dictate the conditions of our relationship. And our relationships become disparity relationships where we may feel superiority. Becomes more a practical adjustment rather than a relationship. Whereas if we build a relationship based upon our duties to relate, to communicate, to share, something totally different comes out. A relationship of parity and equality.
