A Wren Says

I told her what I was dealing with. It was a complaint about a job and how I was doing there. But instead of commiserating, she made a suggestion. Something just didn’t seem right. Maybe it was time I talked to someone.

It was the kind of suggestion that initially might have made me feel offended that she wasn’t willing to keep listening. But ultimately it was advice that proved she really cared.

There is a time to talk through problems with a loved one. Then there is time to speak to a professional, who can see your situation objectively and help you reframe your approach. Therapy, counseling, or life-coaching can be that tool that you need to get you through your toughest moments. And that is even if you only need to use it for the short term.

Use every tool at your disposal to build the life you want.
