Guidance

Albert Schweitzer once said:

"The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is follow the guidance I prayed for."

Man is a complex being. He can remain troubled by something so long that he eventually seeks a solution for it.

However, once he has found this advice, he very rarely uses it properly.

Guidance is crucial to everyone. It can help you reach a goal or an ideal much quicker than it normally would do if you went uneducated and alone.

The definition of guidance is simply to be guided to something by someone who is already there.

The next time someone offers to guide you, first ask if that person is actually where you want to be and if their strategy is correct. If the answer is positive, to follow their advice is a great gift you must utilise.

We spend our lives giving advice to other people. Similarly, throughout our lives, many people give us guidance on a daily basis. To use this guidance is one of the greatest things possible. It is essentially being given a short-cut or a trade secret, that if utilised can make life much easier and much pleasurable. The first step in life is to differentiate effective guidance from inaccurate guidance. The second step, and hardest to do, is to act on it.
