‘The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.’ - Leonardo da Vinci

How often do we find ourselves forming quick judgments about others and situations without truly knowing the full story?

What if we took a moment to zoom in and truly understand the complexities beneath the surface?

😎 Someone appearing arrogant might actually be masking deep-seated insecurities. It's easy to misconstrue insecurity for conceit.

😊 A furrowed brow doesn't always mean they're upset with you; it could be a result of a disagreement with a loved one or an unexpected setback.

🧐 The colleague who always seems reserved, disinterested and distant during meetings, might be an introvert who prefers to listen and process before contributing.

😔 The person who appears dishevelled and unkempt may not be lazy or careless. He might be going through a tough time, grappling with personal challenges.

Be mindful of your initial judgments and biases. Our own assumptions can really limit us.

Remember, another person's reaction is very often not about you, but about himself.

🔍 Challenge yourself to zoom in, to listen actively, and to seek understanding before passing judgement.

Open the door to empathy, compassion, and meaningful connections.
