Prudence. See your own life clearly.
It is easier to see where a friend's plan is heading than to look honestly at your own. Here's to You #5 is about noticing what is in front of you while there is still time to act.
THE GIST ON PRUDENCE
Why is it easier from the outside?
Looking at somebody else's plan does not require you to defend your own hopes. Huw describes how wanting something can blur the distinction between what it is and what you want it to become.
Why can looking feel disloyal?
An honest assessment might reveal a failure you would rather not anticipate. Calling that reluctance faith can postpone the moment of recognition without changing the direction of the plan.
What questions help?
What would you say if this were happening to a friend? And what happens next if you keep doing it? Prudence, in this episode, means answering those questions about your own life and acting while you have time.
