“Did you pick the solution you wanted or the one that actually solves the problem?”

Breath sucked in, wincing face, ouch! ……. I knew in an instant that I was totally busted.

This question was asked by my friend who had been listening to me outline a current work situation I was involved in. Although I hate when she busts me, she is my friend in part because she busts me – frequently! She is kind and generous with her time and wisdom and she cares enough about me to never let me get caught in my own messy thinking or to take the easy way out.

What a blessing to have someone who loves you, who is a cheerleader for your success and who has a very different worldview!
