00:00Every misinterpretation is a confession. When people twist your words, that is their reflection,
00:06not yours. If I say something neutral and you hear shade, that's not me being shady.
00:13That's you being in defense mode. The question is, why? If I try to address an issue with you
00:19and you take it as an attack, that is not me attacking you. That is you wrestling with the
00:24truth. Again, why? That's the part that really bothers me. The lack of curiosity. Folks don't
00:31ask questions. They don't seek clarity. Instead, they jump straight to negative intent. Don't project
00:36bad character on me. I've never shown up that way. I'm not going to all of a sudden be that person.
00:41Folks make assumptions and those assumptions come from their fears and insecurities,
00:47their intentions and motives. The misinterpretation is just a spotlight. They're projecting,
00:53thinking you're telling me about me, but really you're telling on yourself. That's why I don't
00:57get defensive anymore. I just listen. How you hear me shows me exactly who you are.
01:03And that's all I need to know.
