Listen "EP 129: Intent vs Interpretation"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we cover the difference between intent and interpretation. So often, conflict, division, and misunderstanding don’t come from what someone meant, but from how we interpret their words or actions. By stepping back and choosing to see the good intent in others, we can build stronger relationships, stay grounded in our beliefs, and approach life with more compassion and curiosity. Instead of letting one comment or perspective shake your foundation or invalidate everything you once believed, you can strengthen your ability to think critically, uproot unhelpful interpretations, and choose unity over division.
Key Takeaways:
Intent and interpretation are not always the same. Recognizing the difference changes everything.
Misinterpretation often fuels anger and disconnection.
Assuming good intent leads to stronger relationships and more compassion.
A solid belief system won’t crumble every time someone disagrees with you.
True critical thinking means examining entire systems, not just one person’s perspective.
