Unsolicited Advice

FABLES FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN
READING TIME: 1 MINUTE

The people who love you will sometimes give you unsolicited advice, maybe even in the form of a Mugwump Musing. In their concern for your happiness, they may try to solve your problems, even though your problems are not theirs to solve. 

When even your own granny does this, please know it is not because she doesn’t trust you to find your way. She knows you have all sorts of tools to deal with the challenges and opportunities in your life. She also sees that you continue to learn more and more, to make better and better decisions, and that someday, you may be sharing your hard-earned wisdom with your own grandchildren. When you do, remind yourself to tell them how proud you are of the amazing people they have become, and that you love them no matter what. 

I am proud of the amazing person you have become and I love you no matter what.

I love you,
Granny
