Asked
for Advice?
Do
you give your opinions whether or not you are asked?
Do you give advice
without know what is valuable?
Are you trying to
help, fix, teach others even if not asked?
Do you experience
your judgment matters to others?
It
seems we are all trying to be experts no matter how little we know.
It looks like we are
self-made reporters on what is helpful and what is not.
People seem to feel
they are called to put in their two cents worth.
What
do you want and value and find helpful?
Give
what you want to receive.
Offer others what
you want to be offered.
Treat yourself and
others with respect.
Know what you know
and what you don’t know.
I
have chosen to offer nothing unless asked.
I follow my mother’s
lead and listen first with a desire to understand.
I give only what I
am specifically asked for, and nothing more.
When I am invited to
be used as a consultant and counselor, I give my best.
When
asked and hired as a consultant, I offer a specific time and confidential place
and full attention.
As a professional
therapist, counselor and consultant, I respect the one asking by offering the
best I know.

space and specified appointment time and treat the other with great respect.
I encourage the one
asking to listen to themselves and declare what they want.
Opinions
are opinions.
If I have a judgment
or opinion, I declare so.
If I am giving
advice, I acknowledge that in my limited experience, I may…….
I hesitate to
advise, because I am not the one who is involved in the circumstances.
I must be a safe place in which the truth can be shared
with no fear of judgment.
I must be
well-informed and aware of how my words may be perceived.
I must be careful
that I always place the other’s needs and wants come first.

Bottom
lime, I prefer others to come to their own decisions.

information and more education be revealed.

When in relationship
we are seeking the highest and best way, we must be awake and aware.
When wanting to be
helpful, we must encourage the one asking to be helpful first to themselves.
It is essential that
we learn not to misdirect others by our own prejudices and personal healing
needs.
It
is time for all of us to respect the unique learning and healing path of each
individual.
We have a responsibility
to clear our own healing and learning needs first.
We can be truly
helpful by being fully present and open to the needs of the one seeking help.
Stop and pay
attention, listen to what is being said inside and out, tell the highest truth
and let go.
Helpful
relationships relate to one another with trust and freedom = LOVE.
Love one another
always with respect, responsibility and cooperation.
