ASSUMPTIONS:
![]()
AFFIRMATIONS:
I give thanks that:
I let go of my assumptions go and clearly see the truth in my experiences!
I release stress for what it is, false assumptions!
I let go of the negative assumptions I have about myself!
INSPIRATIONAL/MOTIVATIONAL:
I renounce all assumptions and expectations.
I thoughtfully consider all possibilities,
and CHOOSE among them with consciousness.
(Jonathan Lockwood Huie)
ACHIEVEMENT/SUCCESS:
It ain't easy to break out of a mold, but if you do your work, people will ultimately see what you're capable of. Too often, people find it easier to make assumptions and stick with what they believe. (Christopher Meloni)
LOVE:
In love, never put yourself in a situation where you don’t know what you are to a person. Never expect and never assume so that if they decide to drop you out of their lives, you have enough strength to move on. (Unknown Author)
PERSEVERANCE:
The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more likely there's gold in letting go of them. (John Seely Brown)
WISDOM/UNDERSTANDING:
I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge. (Igor Stravinsky)
INTEGRITY OF CHARACTER:
You must stick to your conviction, but be ready to abandon your assumptions. (Dennis Waitley)
SPIRITUAL:
God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light. (Abraham Joshua Heschel)
POSITIVE THOUGHT:
The way to keep yourself from making assumptions is to ask questions. (Don Miguel Ruiz)
THOUGHT TO PONDER:
Overflowing Cup of Tea:
The Zen Master poured his visitor's teacup full, and then kept pouring.
The visitor watched until he could no longer restrain himself.
"It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," the Zen Master said,
"you are full of your own opinions and assumptions.
How can you learn truth until you first empty your cup?"
(Traditional Zen Koan)
Blessings!
