Wisdom Wednesday - August 19th

This piece of wisdom still has me pondering upon it ...

"If you have to talk to more than three people about the same problem, you don't want help, you want attention."  J Beck Ministries

  1. Umm, not sure if I completely agree with that statement.

  2. I like this - stop asking for advice and start addressing the problem.

  3. Sometimes different perspectives on a problem helps and what about “a problem shared is a problem halved.”

  4. The trouble is, if you ask three people the same question, you can get three different solutions and not know which one to take!

  5. I think I agree with you. What if the problem is loneliness, for example? And actually, why is it wrong for adults to admit to needing attention? We are so careful about making sure we give children plenty of attention, but as adults it's assumed the need vanishes?

  6. Sometimes it takes a while to find someone who'll actually listen.

  7. Or you just didn't like the consensus of advice you were given, and want to find somebody to agree with your own ill conceived ideas. (Don't ask me how I know.)

  8. Ouch! I have to say I think there may be some truth in that ...
