November 12, 2004 Most of us ask for advice when we know the answer but we want a different one. (Ivern Ball) We are connoisseurs at giving advice…and surprisingly almost rational, logical and unbiased. Outside the boundaries of extreme emotions, haunting memories, unresolved issues and personality traits our advice is as good as being on Dr.Phil or Oprah’s show. But when it comes to the web of our own issues, problems and dilemmas we’re hopeless, helpless and handicapped….the three dreadful H’s. If all of us can easily detach ourselves from a friend in need of counseling and suggest a logical course of action…why is it so hard to do the same for ourselves? Will it be utter arrogance to completely and fully trust our own judgment to follow the right path? Do the answers lie at the resting point of the pendulum which swings from one extreme of my ‘heart desires’ and the ‘mind commands’? Is the need to seek guidance just a façade…a reassurance of our pre-decided actions? I looked back at all the life changing decisions that I’ve made and the heart ruled over the mind, logic, reason and rationality, which left the door open for regret and lamenting to waltz right in and dance with all the alternatives I had at that time. Philosophers say that when faced with a dilemma the best solution will come if you answer 12 questions (for more details mail me) but is it that simple and fool proof? Is there ever such a thing called ‘best decision’? (7:25 PM) ~`~ |
