“When my wife, Diana, and I met a new couple at church one
Sunday, we stopped to introduce ourselves and to exchange pleasantries. We described the friendly neighborhood we
lived in, and listened sympathetically as they lamented that theirs was just
the opposite.
Saying our goodbyes, we got in our cars and roe home. As we approached our house, we were horrified to see that our new-found friends
were pulling into the drive way next to ours.”
-Kent Eikenberry
What would you do if your perceptions were so out of sync
with someone else? Dismiss them as irrelevant? Mindless? Or ask, “What am I missing?”
The difference between the two attitudes is immense.
