The idea I get today about how I might improve a situation or solve the matter at hand may for all intents and purposes be the best idea or notion that anyone on this earth has!
The concept I would like to infuse, my answer to the problem may be the result of long and serious contemplation with everyone's best interest in mind. However in this life I have learned things turn on a dime and in directions I never considered or imagined.
When do we just make a suggestion and when do we insist or make a demand ? Truth is, there are times we must needs make demands based on our experience and with considerations like safety or if someone's life is at stake.
The question usually arises, " am I forcing my will into this situatuion? " Human beings under these circumstances make decisions based on past experience and NOT ALL past solutions will apply to the current situation. There's a trade off.
I think we should consider this "what we would like to happen and what we don't want to happen needs to be removed from the equation! " Feelings and emotions blur the picture, they are predjudical and judgemental and lead to a reckless or inconsiderate decision making process. So how to proceed?
I say first have a discussion with the person whose guidance you trust. I've found I prefer someone who doesn't always give me a straight answer and instead tells me a story from his or her book of life experiences.
The decision is mine and mine alone which brings me to my second point - make the best decision I can with all the information available. We can't afford to rely on anothers input because it gives us a FALSE sense of security presently and IF things don't work out we will blame them for it. We don't ever truelly have complete control over what happens in this world. The best we can do is put forth a good effort.
