ALWAYS have one. If you don’t currently, get one. There should never be a moment in life when you do not have one at the beckon call.
The same way you have a dentist to take care of your teeth, a doctor to take care of your health, an accountant to take care of your taxes, you need a person who can take care of you. Your questions. Your actions. Your decisions. A person who can help guide you personally.
In my profession it is said that a doctor who takes care of themselves has a fool for a patient. A person who does not have a teacher or an advisor will never develop into the best person they can be.
As complicated as your health is, your life is that much more complicated. Always have one person who you put your faith in that can help guide you, answer your questions and if they can’t, can point you towards the answer.
And there will be times where that person’s advice or teaching was less than perfect. It is still important to have outside counsel. They should make you think more robustly, be more objective, more exploratory. They will help guide you,
help you grow. Help keep you honest.
And it’s ok to go up to that person who you choose to be your teacher/advisor and ask them if they are willing to perform that function for you. Wishes for a great and highly productive day to all,
And of course, hugs too.
