You may feel misunderstood today, frustrated at the difficulty of expressing your ideas effectively. You may want to enlist the help of someone who does understand you, and get them to translate your ideas into something others can relate to. We may marvel sometimes that people can communicate at all. It may seem that we are all speaking the same language, but so much has to do with where our heads are at each moment. This colors each communication with a different interpretation, depending on the filters we are using at that time. It may help to put ourselves in the place of those to whom we are trying to convey an idea. Then we may gain some insight as to the terms they use, the concepts that are important to them, and the way to get our message across. Today, though you may feel misunderstood, you must see it as an opportunity to find bridges of communication with those you want to reach.

Sometimes getting the full attention of your audience is more important than the words you convey. Whether an individual or a larger audience, you will be best understood if you have eye contact and an introduction that will focus their thoughts on you. You want to find what will get their attention and what they can gain by taking the time to listen to you. By attempting to understand them as you wish to be understood, you can bridge the gap between you today.
