Creativity Tips: Find Your Own Truth

Recently, I told a friend she was making a mistake in one of the most creative aspects of her life -- parenting a teenager. I could do this because:

1. She's a wonderful mother.
2. She's a brilliant woman.
3. We've been friends for years.
4. She'd do the same for me.

For all these reasons, I am comfortable giving my friend advice -- knowing she'll take what I consider the truth and weigh it against her own reality.

No one makes the right decisions all the time, and no one gives the right advice all the time. Surround yourself with people you trust and listen to what they say. Then, find your own truth.
