Do you ever feel like there are just some people in your life that you need to watch what you say around them and you always feel like you're walking on eggshells?

MY ADVICE HERE IS TO JUST KEEP BEING YOURSELF. And people will either come around to see who you truly are or continue to misunderstand you and be upset. But at the end of the day, that will happen anyway and only one of those choices will exhaust your mental space.

This one really strikes a chord with me. As you may or may not know about me, I tend to keep it really real. It's a great thing in my profession for the most part, but sometimes in my personal life it's not as well received.

So I often wonder, why is it that I could literally say one thing to a client and say the same thing to a personal friend or family member and it is taken ENTIRELY the wrong way? And the answer is the believed intention that the person holds in mind for me!

You see, my clients understand that I am on their team. I am working alongside them to help them solve whatever issue they are facing and I care about what they are experiencing. Unfortunately, people who don't look as closely at themselves in the mirror often misinterpret the intentions of others.

And that makes sense because if you can hardly understand yourself, how could you ever be expected to understand someone else?

I think if you look harder for the good intentions of people, you will generally find them.
