Tell It Like It Is

You would think giving and receiving advice is easy right? That when someone gives you advice it’s usually harmless or helpful? That they told you this because they have your best interest in mind? However, that’s not always the case. Not everyone is in the best position to give you advice, whether it’s someone secretly hating on you, or they don’t want to see you doing better than them, or they don’t understand your situation completely. This is why it’s important to practice discernment when seeking advice from others. On the other hand, we must also know when someone is only watching out for us and wants to see us succeed. Sometimes it is true that we need an outside perspective, some tough love to take the next step, or to see that something is no longer serving us. Sometimes we need people in our lives who will tell it like it is.
