When we’re faced with a tough decision, a typical reaction is to 1) seek advice from others, and then 2) analyse which path to take.
However, we eventually need to leave the shelter of others’ advice and make a decision for which we alone will be responsible.
That’s scary.
Its scary because it’s comforting and reassuring to lean on the advice of others.
But placing reliance on others only gives the illusion we made a decision.
Setting clear limits for our reliance, and knowing when to assume full responsibility for a decision, is essential to being able to live with any outcome.
