Guidance comes from multiple sources in my life. While I do pray for guidance, I’m not always good with the answer I receive and I do struggle with being an obedient servant. My prayers are mostly written, in long hand in a special notebook I keep for that purpose. Sometimes my prayers are answered in a very straightforward manner. Sometimes it takes me awhile to figure out that the path I prayed for is a bit more crooked than I expected.
I also take guidance from my main squeeze. R is happy to give his opinion if I ask for it. Sometimes he doesn’t get the situation I’m explaining and it takes a while to give him the overall picture so that he can guide me. But in those situations the response usually is “when I worked in the shop, we’d throw hammers at each other to solve issues like that.” My response to this answer is always, “Sorry Babe, you can’t do that in corporate America.”
R is great about thinking about what I said and giving me guidance.
The final place I try and get guidance, especially when it comes to my career is from my manager. What I like about his guidance is that he gives me a perspective that I might not had thought about before. At one point he mentioned me moving into management and I honestly wasn’t too keen on the idea. But when I talked to him about it later, he said that one of best parts of being a manager is working with someone to bring out their best. Now that is something I would like to do, but I still don’t think I want to do in a management capacity.
Do I take guidance? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. But I always listen to what’s being said and often times it makes me aware of behaviors or patterns that I wasn’t noticing before.
