23-42 Just the Facts

Download and color this week’s
Mandala of the Week

This week’s MotW is inspired by Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles”, namely Principle #52 When in Doubt Check it Out. Canfield states: “Too many people waste valuable time and precious resources wondering what other people are thinking, intending, or doing. Rather than just asking them for clarification. … Successful people, on the other hand, don’t waste time assuming or wondering. They simply check it out … They are not afraid of rejection, so they ask.”

Over the next seven days, I’ll be delving deeper into this principle via multiple colorings of this mandala and posting them on the Mandalas of the Day. My plan this week is to ponder my take on whether I make assumptions or ask for clarifications…I suspect it depends on the circumstance.

So how about you? How do you handle doubt? Are you a “wonder if” or a “check it out” person? What fear stops you from asking for clarification?

“If there is something
I don’t know
and I suspect that
I need clarification
and so does the viewer,
I just ask for it.”

— Harris Faulkner
