“I owe success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.” – Gilbert K. Chesterton, writer & philosopher
Right when you least expect it…someone will hurl their unwelcomed “good” advice at you. Seemingly angled at steering you in the right direction, the carefully wrapped “gift” explodes all over your finely pressed outfit, like an over-filled water balloon whose time has come. Time and time again friend, family and foe alike lob misguided guidance and unfounded opinions, half-expecting you to follow to safe face …and yet ready to spew an “I told-you-so” when you fall and fail to what they would have done. So what’s a person to do? Well, what many of you have been doing all along! Follow your gut! That built-in alarm system that’s kept you on your toes and kept you from fumbling through some of the most taxing times of your life. Somehow, it’s always right. And although your steadfast sixth sense may not shield you from the inflatables yet to douse your next crossroads decision, it may very well steer you far away from those who sit ready to launch.
