Recall as a child or even as an adult, and was repeatedly told to do or not do something because it would result in unpleasant and sometimes disastrous consequences. Take a moment to pause and reflect. What comes to mind?
Even though others forewarned you, you did the opposite. The same applies today. Individuals with the best intentions attempt to guide you against pitfalls through encouragement, advice, and suggestions, but instead, you discard them without a thought and proceed as you choose. In some instances, you may consider the information, but since it is contrary to your ideas or requires a change in the approach, you dismiss it outright. We learn best when we fall or fail. When we do, we may even wonder and state, ‘my parents/friend/peer warned me from the start,’ but will likely proceed to do it all again. Then we learn.
