Don’t just hear a person’s words but hear their words (or advice) from where they are!
Are they in a blessed or bitter place? Either perspective understood correctly, can be powerful. For example, this is how things look and feel from the pit, from the Palace or from the journey to be get there.
People say you want advice from someone who’s “been there”. “There” maybe your ultimate dream but someone else “there” was part of the journey, not what it’s cracked up to be or really hard. Their story doesn’t have to be yours.
Perspective is a powerful thing! So don’t just hear a person’s perspective but hear FROM their perspective!
