We need to chart our own paths, make our own decisions.

But there are times when the unsolicited advice of others jibes with a faint inclination or tepid willingness of our own. And we choose to leap.

And deciding to follow that advice changes our life significantly.

We do the work, of course. We are the actors. But being open to occasional stage direction can be a good thing.
