When needing advice, it’s good to have a true confidant: Someone you know without a doubt has your best interest at heart. In this day and age, many people quickly advise others, but would not readily take their own advice if faced with the exact, same circumstance. They start off by saying, “If it was me…” , but nothing can replace wise counsel that comes from the lips of one who values you as a person and is capable of feeling your pain.
