I think if asked, most people would consider themselves honest in their opinions and open to enter into discussion and I would agree that most people are – Until you hit a nerve!

What I mean is we can all talk freely about our successes but get on the defensive when talking about our failures and it’s only human nature I suppose. The trouble is that if we only talk about our successes, then how can we get advice or help in our hour of need? Let’s face it no-one can help you if they don’t know you need help.

Now I’m the world’s worst for it, I’ll let it all bottle up and let it fester even though I know I shouldn’t and what makes it worse is I know a little advice from a third party can be enlightening at times. I should take a bit of my own advice I suppose.

So let’s make a deal…. If I promise to make the effort, then you should too – Any ideas where the best place to find our new shoulders to lean on?
