Sometimes poor communication is the result of misinterpretation of terms. Even though two people may speak the same language, each may attach a different meaning to a particular word. In order to do this, it sometimes helps to repeat what you have just heard. This tells the other person that you are truly listening to him and that you really care. Always be truthful.
Good communication is based on truth.
When we exaggerate the truth or distort it out of fear of rejection or fear of punishment, we are not only hindering good communication but also hurting ourselves and the other person. Obeying this command will go far toward establishing effective communication and strong relationships. Always be kind and loving. Love is the foundation of all effective communication. Love truly desires the good of the other person.
