What Do You Think?

.
"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." Anais Nin

Someone comes to you and asks for your advice. Simple advice.
What do you say when they ask "What Do You Think?"
The temptation is to tell them - but you know from experience that
"A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest". So what do you say? (Well here's what I try to say before ego takes over.)

"It doesn't matter what I think - It only matters what you think."
.
Then I ask them "What Do You Think?" And try to listen carefully.
"So what do you think I should do?" they say. I can only tell you what I would do if the circumstances applied to me - I can't tell you what you should do. Your perspective is yours and mine is mine.
We don't see things as they are, We see things as we are.
I will say though - Your thoughts determine your actions. Your actions determine your habits. Your habits determine character AND your character determines your life. What do YOU think you should do?
