Say What?!

Words only function as a means of calling up ideas and concepts gained through previous experience.

Consider what you say and to whom you say it. You may need to tailor your words and the way that you use them in order to communicate your intentions/thoughts/feelings/beliefs in such a way that will conjure up a previous experience of your hearer's which can be correctly associated with what you are trying to say. Or, you may need to create a whole new experience for your hearer(s) if they are unable to correctly apprehend your message.

• The omission of words and the inclusion of physical touch can sometimes be the best channel through which to convey a message.
• Be open to using different communication styles to ensure that your intended information is well received and correctly understood by your audience.
• Listen, watch, and learn before you speak. 
• Honest, open hearts and minds that hold the well-being of others in the highest regard are not often hurtful.
• Most miscommunications can be corrected with an honest apology and another attempt at communication.
