the power of communication

in the last couple days i have come across two different scenarios that have shown me how important clear communication is in the overall dynamics of a relationship. 
in the first scenario, i chose to not say anything about a situation so as to protect an individual from judgement of others. the end result was i instead have been judged and incorrectly i may add.
in the second scenario, i chose to what i thought was clearly communicate my intention only to find that the other person had a completely different understanding of the situation. i assumed they understood what i was saying and i was wrong. 
so that is my goal for this week ahead...i am going to work on my communicating skills. say what i mean. mean what i say. that sounds like a good place to start.
