Here’s Something to Think About…
Fallacy of the Week:
“If someone misunderstands me, I’ve failed to communicate well.”
What’s Really Happening:
We often carry the weight of both clarity and outcome—as if it’s our job not just to speak truthfully, but also to make sure it lands perfectly. That’s an exhausting (and impossible) standard.
A Better Way:
You are responsible for communicating with care and clarity—not for controlling how others receive it. Some people won’t get it. Some won’t agree. That’s not always a reflection of your failure—but of their readiness.
“You’re not responsible for how someone else receives your message—you’re responsible for delivering it with clarity and humility.”
