What you hear is interpreted through the filter of your beliefs. Your mind rearranges what others say to fit into your understanding of the world, your beliefs or what you want to hear. A clear example of this is the game ‘Telephone,’ in which a simple statement is repeated from one person to another and ends up almost unrecognizable. This is good to remember when what you hear hurts your feelings or stifles your creativity. The offense occurs not so much from what they say as…

How it’s heard.
