Last week we looked at how destructive unsolicited advice could be. I suggested you start asking questions before you started piping up with all kinds of suggestions for your hapless friends, family and/or co-workers.
This week, I want to give you 2 magic questions you can use when you absolutely MUST give the advice burdening your heart. Before you speak…
Ask yourself these 2 questions:
1. What gives me the right?
2. Is it in the best interest of the relationship?
Listen to the podcast and share it! I think you’ll enjoy this part 2 of the podcast. Who knows, it might even change your life! 🙂 And feel free to share with your friends!
I’d love to know – do you struggle with giving unsolicited advice? How do you keep from becoming “that person” who always has a better way of doing something? Please let me know your thoughts!
Encouraging Word of the Week: Proverbs 12:18 “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
