| It is a hard lesson
to learn, but one day we finally come to accept that we cannot handle everything
in our lives by ourselves. In moments of darkness and uncertainty, we need
someone to walk through the journey of life with us.
Seek out a wise person to walk with you when the
light on your path loses its clarity. A wise person will not necessarily
tell you what to do, but he or she can point out to you what your options are.
Many of us fail to see the number of
possibilities open to us when we look for clarity of direction in our lives.
Someone else often sees what we cannot.
When we ask advice from someone who is wise, we
increase our possibilities of acting successfully in the choices we make.
A good advisor will not free us from the
responsibility of making our own decisions, but he or she can broaden our vision
so that we will have a better chance of making the right ones.
If we are sufficiently honest to acknowledge our
own limitations, we will have the openness to seek advice in those times when we
most need it. |
