Never Jump to Conclusions

Over the past, jumping to conclusions, especially the wrong ones, has cost me so much. Like when taking a test of some sort, they always say that your first answer is almost always the most correct. Often, when someone leaves me a brief message and I hear nothing else from that person my mind will start racing and I'll come to the wrong conclusion. If I had just trusted the universe will always provide for me then maybe I could have saved myself a lot of unnecessary grief.

I am the type of person that needs a pat on the back every once in awhile otherwise my mind will start creating a lot of bad situations. I know that a lot of other people suffer from this same dilemma. Instead of jumping to conclusions we should learn to trust the old saying that "No news is good news". How much failure has been caused by people jumping to the wrong conclusion?

I know of at least 2 jobs I have had that were lost because of me jumping to the wrong conclusion. When our kids are late getting home for the evening, parents a lot of times will starting jumping to the wrong conclusion. When our other half has gone out and they say they will be at the mall or something then they come home late or never go where they told us they were going, I know for a fact then when my wife does this I will always jump to the wrong conclusion which has caused a lot of fights that could have been avoided had I never jumped to the wrong conclusion.

My son last week paid for a service through some web site and now he is going to destroy everything because he has not heard anything from the person who was paid to do the work, it has only been 4 days. Last time this person disappeared for about a week was because his wife had a new baby during this time. Now my son should never have paid everything until the work had been completed which is something else I will address in another post in my Blog.

Why is that there are some people who never have this problem? I know some people that have plenty of patience to just let everything take its natural course rather than jumping to the wrong conclusion about things. I guess a lot of this can be attributed to how we are raised early in our lives. Maybe somebody needs to outline the right way to do things so that it can be given to all new parents when they have a child?

Connection vs. Separation in Personal Growth

By: Kate Siner Francis PhD | 03/07/2009
When we understand that we are not separate from our wants and needs, we are able to be more competently and confidently create what we most deeply want.

Michael Jackson, Peter Pan Syndrome and Living Forever

By: Robert Levin | 29/06/2009
I was a huge fan of Michael Jackson. A lot of grown men would be embarrassed to admit that, but not me. Not only was he a brilliant performer and songwriter that defined the 1980’s which made up most of my adolescence, there was something else that caused me to feel I had a special understanding of who he was.

By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 19/05/2008 | Business
My Grandmother always said the following two things often. Number one was to never lay all your eggs in one basket and number two was to never count your chickens before they hatched.

Are We Any Closer to Being Able to Control the Weather

By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 12/05/2008 | Environment
Look at pictures of our planet the way it was 4 billion years ago. A hunk of rock in space. Today and look at everything we have been able to create from this rock. Everything starts out as an idea first and then it is created or invented. All that we have today came from this rock and many more things are yet to come.

On Monday and Tuesday when you get the 100 or more emails promising you some Free report what thoughts are going through you mind? Are you saying to yourself "Great, I was going to buy this report and now it is being given to me Free"? Or are you thinking to yourself "Whats the Catch". Only about 10 percent of these reports are actually any good but yet the ones that are good will bring you to a One Time Offer page after you enter your email into the squeeze page form.

Wrong Number Marketing

By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 25/04/2008 | Marketing
Over the years it has gotten harder and harder to find new effective ways to market your wares. With direct mail you may be lucky enough to get maybe a quarter of a percent positive response. If you use a little creativity and send a postcard with a picture of someplace like Hawaii and a message that looks hand written then maybe you'll get a 2 or 3 percent positive response. Blanket an entire zip code, sending out thousands of these post cards to maybe get 2 or 3 sales.

By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 28/01/2008 | Psychology
Over a dozen years ago I had a best friend named Phillip. We both worked for the same company and when we first met we could not stand each other. Our boss was making us work together on things and over time we found out we had a lot of things in common and for the next 3 years Phillip was my best friend. Whenever I needed someone to talk to he was there and vice versa plus we would go bowling together about once a week and we both enjoyed SciFi shows like Star Trek.

Big Promises and Little Returns

By: Jeffrey A Solochek, I | 14/01/2008 | Internet
This is what Web hosting is today. They promise enormous amounts of web space, unlimited bandwidth and a whole bunch of other things that nobody will ever use. How many of us have a site that needs over 1 gig of space or how about 10+ gigs of bandwidth each month. Then they offer us the ability to host all of our sites under one account, unlimited MYSQL databases, unlimited email accounts, scripts, blogs, and a host of other things that most people will never use unless maybe we are all the size of a walmart or something. They all promise us everything under the sun these days but when it comes time for us to get these things they disappear very quickly and we have to submit a ticket that somebody in India might answer
