“Be a rebel in today’s world. Choose to assume positive intent, seek first to understand and seek the three sides to every story.”
In the world we live in today we get information at such high speeds and everyone can be the author to a news story that we are forgetting to seek out truth and seek out intention. Learn the importance of seeking first to understand and searching for the content of the entire story before responding.
