Someone Else's Box

Wealth is created in boxes. How well do you understand your box? I heard the term “option counselling” for the first time yesterday. Everyone has vested interests, which means the idea of “independent advice” is a bit of an oxymoron unless you are a fully detached yogic master. As Austin Kleon points out, “all advice is autobiographical”. Option counselling aims to explore choices, without influencing the decision maker one way or another. It shines light on *someone else’s* box. Exploring their obstacles and paths. Exploring their choices. A key to making empowered choices is acceptance. All journey’s start from where you are, and none of us are in the same place.
