If you want to see things more clearly, consider what you’re focusing on.
Sometimes, it is a gift (to someone else) to just ask for what you want.
While we hate to admit it, more often than not, people just want to be told what to do — rather than asked to figure things out and make a decision...besides, then they have someone else to blame, too (which people also seem to like).
When is easier actually not…better?
