“Good Advice”

Good advice… is priceless.

Not what you want to hear, but what you need to hear.  Not imaginary, but practical. Not based on fear, but on possibility.  Not designed to make you feel better, designed to make you better.

Seek it out and embrace the true friends that care enough to risk sharing it.

I’m not sure what takes more guts — giving it or getting it.   (Seth Godin, Seth’s Blog   5.14.14)

Brian Cavanaugh)
