"Faulty assumptions are not harmless accessories we take on and off. They actually become the base of our thoughts and actions. They anchor the wardrobe of our lives. That's why it's very dangerous to assume something is true when it isn't. Faulty assumptions always reveal themselves in wrong thinking and result in erroneous action.
Begin considering your assumptions. Can you see how they influence your life?"
Another way Jennifer worded it was that "faulty assumptions are the root. Wrong thinking is the fruit." When we engage in faulty assumptions and make agreements (even things we have believed from childhood) within ourselves that are not true... the result is "troublesome thoughts and destructive emotions. You & I don't simply sprout the fruits of insecurity, anger, intolerance, low self-esteem, or defensiveness without something to first feed those feelings or thoughts. Feelings & thoughts are fruits. Assumptions are roots."
