Visa services, why do you need others to listen to you? I would look within to see where that is coming from. What others do, say, or think is frankly none of my business. If they do something that I can clearly see is not in their best interest, then the best I can do is offer my assistance but ultimately I honor their choice.

In the grand scheme of things, I can not know what is best for their path. Sometimes we have to take a step back to take 2 steps forward and if someone else is taking a step back I allow them to do so.

I think trusting other people to make a decision always does a world of good to that person.

But the thing is we need to know whom to give that opportunity to.

The path to Mastery is one of Self Mastery…you know that already. Upon this path, none other then ourselves can do it.

And “discernment” is one of the lessons we learn on the way. Maybe greater understanding can be gleaned from viewing reality as a rubberband, rather then parts in conflict. Such as: Is lying an issue or gullibility?

Sue Ann Edwards’s last blog post..A dilemma?

Bart, yes exactly. I agree we are on seemingly similar themes about advice giving with others. I’m realizing that the whole process I go through may culminate in an action here or there which is where my breakthroughs will manifest yet it is the whole process that is the important part.

If I recommend any of those actions isolated from the whole process then they don’t seem to deliver the same results to others. Which puts it all into context of how most advice is really not that helpful at all because it usually lacks awareness of where that person is along that specific journey.

The willingness of the other person seems to be the greatest determinate of whether something will work for them or not.
