S04E080, Get a second opinion! Andy B 2 Minute Video

While filming some new material I made one small mistake, and gave one file the wrong title. When looking through the files on the computer later, I realised it had caused a whole bunch of files to now appear to be incorrectly labelled.

After spending some time trying to sort it, I realised I really needed a second set of eyes looking at the problem, so called in my middle son – Nathan.

Together we worked out the easiest way of renaming files correctly: sometimes we just need a second opinion – somebody else who can look at the problem and help us sort out a solution.

In our lives it is always good to make ourselves accountable. Feelings can lead us down dead ends in no time, with us wondering what happened and struggling to get out of the mess we’re now in. And this is where getting that second opinion, from a trusted friend who we are safe holding ourselves accountable with, comes into its own.

Due to my own frustration, I was struggling to sort those file names out; y frustration simply added to my own difficulty getting it sorted. Step in someone looking over my shoulder, literally, who could encourage me and affirm the solution I already knew I needed – on this occasion. And it was soon put right.

Those trusted friends can also help us from making a mistake in the first place.

We’re never going to be able to prevent every problem that we see before us. However, if we can avoid a few holes in the road, it’s better for everyone.

So, don’t always feel like you are somehow supposed to cope with every difficulty you face, and ask someone you trust to take a look at what  you’re doing, or wanting to do, and take on board their advice and input.

Just a thought...
