It really helps to have several people you trust and know to be wise. It makes the discernment of good counsel much easier. You make a great point, Kevin.

We all understand the concept of wise counsel in THEORY, but how can we know when the advice given is truly wise? Usually when we seek advice, we're confused, which can also mean too confused to know wise counsel from having our ears tickled. I try to seek the counsel of several trusted people, and the interesting thing is that there often is a concensus of opinion even when they don't know each other. This is how I know they give sound advice. Maybe the first thing we need to do is make sure we have those trusted counselors in our lives, and if we don't, to seek them. .-= Kevin@OutOfYourRut´s last blog ..<a href="http://outofyourrut.com/blog/2010/02/09/blue-collar-jobs-cant-be-moved-offshore/">Blue Collar Jobs Can’t be Moved Offshore</a> =-.
