"Am I bringing up a nutrient or an irritant?"- Today We Are Rich
We all have opinions. When we see someone else having a problem we jump into solver mode and want to help.
There is nothing wrong with that if it is done properly. The phrase above should be used as a pause. Before offering advise ask yourself whether the advise will serve as a nutrient to that person. Will the advise make them stronger or wiser?
If not, then you are providing an irritant. One that will simply upset the person and not help solve the problem.
Remember that being a "realist" is another way of playing a devil's advocate. In an earlier post I urged you to instead be an angel adviser. Ask the person if they see any difficulties up ahead. Let them offer the solution that they will have to live with.
Today's question is:
"Have you provided nutrients to your friends?"
