Today I want to talk to you about a topic that I have been working on personally, and that is: not asking anyone for permission to make a decision.
Many times we fall into the error of commenting on our plans to several people who are mostly trustworthy, in a way waiting for their approval, advice, an idea that is added to yours, support, in short, hoping that approve what you have in mind, I used, a few years ago, to call many people to tell them about my idea or project requesting their approval, if they did not like it, they did not do it.
An example of them was my chef degree, I was in doubt whether to study gastronomy or do a master's degree in something related to my engineering career, I discussed it with several friends and family, most of them told me what I was going to do it for. If I already knew how to cook or that it was not necessary for me to study more, just a friend, not so much a friend at that time, made me understand many things, he was the one who made me reflect on what decision to make; The point is that we should not give authority to a person to decide what to do, say or undertake, someone once told me "people will want to see you well, but not better than them" I found that phrase cruel, it pigeonholes all people, but time and circumstances taught me that the responses of these people were not objective, they will tell you no because they think or believe that you cannot or that they could not.
Although it is not good to go around asking permission every time to do something or decide something, if it is considerable to ask for advice, in life it is good to have mentors, people with experience and results who can give you an objective opinion, instructions, ideas, complements that contribute , add and do not subtract.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Until another post.
