We all have some good ideas. Or so we think! An idea may strike you as something you or your organization could do. At first glance, it appears brilliant! It may be just the answer you have been looking for! A solution to all your problems!
That is where wise counselors are crucial. We all have blind spots. We tend to see the possibilities more than the difficulties. Others become absorbed with the problems and miss the potential. Our challenge is that we only see things from our limited vantage point. But every situation has more than one perspective. To get a full understanding of our circumstance, we must view it from various angles.
The key is enlisting good counselors. Some see things from our perspective and so have limited value to us. They don’t tell us anything we don’t already know! Others have a completely different perspective. These people may annoy us sometimes because they do not readily agree with us, and what we see. But they will provide us a different perspective, which is crucial. If all of your counselors immediately agree with you, you might want to enlist additional advisors! Be certain you have viewed your situation from several perspectives before you move forward in an important direction. Some things are worth getting right the first time!
