On life’s journey, we all face moments of confusion, difficulty, or the need for advice. Our first instinct is often to “ask someone.” But have you ever noticed that sometimes, after asking around, the answers you get only leave you more lost or frustrated? It’s not because your question was bad—it’s because you asked the wrong person.
What happens when you ask the wrong people?
- They may mean well but give advice that doesn’t align with your values.
- They might secretly envy your progress and discourage you with negativity.
- They may not truly understand your situation, offering superficial or even misleading suggestions.
On the other hand, asking the right people can change everything with just one sentence. The “right” people aren’t necessarily experts or authorities. They are simply:
- Those who genuinely want the best for you;
- Those who have walked the path you’re on (or are a few steps ahead);
- Those who can be honest, objective, and full of supportive energy.
Too often, we hesitate to ask—or we ask the wrong people—because we fear rejection, judgment, or appearing “weak.” But the truth is, the people who truly want to support you never see you as a burden. They’re happy to be your backbone, because helping others grow also affirms their own sense of purpose.
Whether you’re thinking about starting a business, changing careers, navigating relationship challenges, working on personal growth, or just need someone to listen—please don’t hesitate to reach out to the right people. We’re here not to judge you, but to walk with you toward the answers.
Remember: Asking the right person is wisdom. Being willing to be asked is a blessing.You never become smaller by needing help. On the contrary, by surrounding yourself with the right support system, you become stronger and stronger.
May you always be surrounded by the right people—and may you become the right person for someone else, too.
