I seem to be one of those people that get asked for advice often. Most of the time the advice is harmless, but heartfelt. Recently, after a series of conversations with various friends, I started to wonder when does advice go from helpful to harmful?
I think it’s quite possible to start out with good intentions, but end up doing more harm than good. I’ve discovered that sometimes people just need to learn things on their own. My experience as of late has made me take a good look at the advice I’ve handed out to others. I think the next time I’m asked for my opinion, I’m going to be a bit more hesitant in giving it.
