But Where Is Your Crystal Ball?
Manage episode 492536923 series 3327267
"Where's your crystal ball?" This simple but powerful question has become my favorite response when faced with unsolicited opinions about my life choices. In today's reflection, I dive into the fascinating phenomenon of advice-giving and why we should approach it with healthy skepticism.
Have you noticed how the loudest opinions often come from those least qualified to give them? The relative offering relationship advice despite their own troubled partnerships? The financially struggling friend telling you exactly how to manage your money? This isn't coincidental. When people offer unsolicited guidance, they're typically projecting their own experiences, regrets, fears, or limited perspectives—none of which necessarily apply to your unique situation.
And, as a special FREE bonus, I want to give you my "6 Journal Prompts To Coach Yourself To A Better Life In 6 Days!"
These prompts are perfect if you:
🎯 Feel lost in direction.
📉 Battle feelings of inadequacy or constant comparison.
😕 Experience restlessness.
📆 Find goal-setting or motivation challenging.
😐 Simply feel 'meh'.
Designed to dismantle obstacles, reshape your mindset, and cement unwavering confidence, these prompts are scarce gems in a sea of generic advice. 🚧🧠
