Look to Others for Ideas

Look to Others for Ideas If we had all the answers to all the questions, where would the fun be? Life was meant tochallenge, excite, sadden, frustrate and perhaps all at the same time. When times are uncertain or we lack clarity or even ideas, it is only natural to ask for advice from those we trust. This comes easier to some than others. Asking for help makes us feel vulnerable. Asking for advice shows wisdom. Think of the people you know who you trust and value. If you asked them for advice or suggestions, might they have some words for you? They have lived through experiences different from yours. They have viewed it through a different lens. This offers wonderful perspective. I had coffee with two women yesterday. Each were asking for advice and I gladly and freely gave my thoughts. They both expressed surprise at my suggestions because they had never thought in quite the same way I did. We have filters that sometimes prevent usfrom seeing some options, that is why weshould look to others fortheir unique perspectives.We may not always agree but having options is better than feelinghopeless or helpless.
