It is really great to have mature friends to seek advice from, but it doesn’t do any good if we are not completely honest with them or ourselves. It is easy to present a story or a situation to a friend, seeking their advice, but only telling them half the story so they give you the answer that you want. Sometimes I seek encouragement when I really need wisdom. Sometimes I just want someone to affirm a decision I have made when I really need them to analyze the situation and give me their honest perspective.

I love the quote from the video that states, “Transform someone’s experiences in your wisdom.” I think we can avoid a lot of hurt and pain by watching and learning from others without having to make the mistakes ourselves.
