We are confronted at times with the roughness of others who
challenge us because of what we do. That can be for many reasons. Maybe they are truly concerned with your
path. Maybe you are treading farther
than they ever have and their fear causes them to hold you back. Maybe they simply are not interested in you
succeeding. How do you decipher which
one it is and if you should even listen to these people? We have to do what we simply don’t do enough
of... Ask questions! Ask them… Why are
you saying these things? Explanations
provide comfort, but more importantly provide us the reasoning behind a
suggestion. Maybe their situation
differs, or their path is not the same as yours (chances are it is not). Don’t discredit their thoughts. It is the
bits and pieces of their experience you can relate and pull from to help formulate
what comes next for you. ~ Tracy
