Harrison Barnes, Founder and CEO, BCG Attorney Search Ask Others What Course You Are On By Harrison Barnes | Dated: 2010-09-03 05:20:37 When we look back at ourselves several years ago most of us realize how little we knew at that time and how many mistakes we made- the sort we could certainly avoid today. It can actually be frightening looking back at our past, and the people we were. You do not see where you are going all the time because you are living in it. You are also denying it. But others simply see it. Today, when we look around us, we can all see some aspects in others that are indicative of who they are likely to become in the future. Hence it is extremely important that we use this vision of others for our benefit. You need to ask others around you about how they envision your life unfolding. Where are you headed? Are you headed for something positive or negative? Your allies will tell you if you let them.
