When we give advice,
we often offer
an outcome.
“Have courage.”
“Forgive him.”
“Adopt
a growth mindset.”
…
All outcomes
that arise
from a process.
…
When folks
seek advice,
they’re often seeking
a method.
Outcomes
that emerge
from a process.
So unless we can give them a methoer
or guide them through a process
offering an outcome
comes across
as nothing but a trivialization
of the process.
