Intentions don’t often align with actions.

One major reason for a lot of misunderstandings is actions with misunderstood intentions. It’s no surprise that we’re all very different people, so sometimes our intentions towards our loved ones might not align with our actions, at least to them, and therein lies the problem. It’s okay to have the best intentions towards someone and expect that our actions communicate this, however, it shouldn’t be such a surprise to you if it’s not properly communicated by said actions.

What happens then?

Please speak up, clearly communicate the reason behind the said action, and walk them through your thought process of that action, so they can really understand the intentions behind your actions and therefore, misunderstandings can be reduced.

Actions speak loud than words, yes, but actions speak louder with words.
