― Matthew McConaughey
A friend
recently called to ask my advice on an issue relating to her children. For a mother, it is very difficult to find
clarity in thinking about situations or issues that negatively impact our
children. Because we feel so much is at
stake, it is hard to push emotions aside and think clearly. As I listened to my friend, I remembered a
very important question that a dear friend of mine had asked me when I was
grappling with my own child-related tough issue. She had asked me, "What do you
want?" Her question made me think and
made it possible for me to gain clarity.
As I spoke to this other friend, I asked her the same question and it helped
us work through her situation. Wise
counsel is a kindness that seems to have a ripple effect.
