17
Q

MRI

A

Most Respectful Interpretation

We frequently judge ourselves by our good intentions, even when we don’t actually get around to DOING anything. At the same time we may judge others by our fearful interpretation of their actions, even though their actions sometimes have down sides they may not have intended.

That dual standard may lead to unwarranted mistrust that can undermine progress and create unnecessary stress.

Adopting the philosophy of “Most Respectful Interpretation” (MRI) is a delightful solution. MRI says we assume the best of others. MRI suggests that you consider only the best, the kindest, the most helpful interpretation of every communication and respond solely to that version.

There may be other ways of interpreting a communication, but what is the point? Choose the higher road. Your day will be better, your life more smooth.

Try it, it works!
