Original Advice
“DO: Ask which they want: advice or comfort.”
Aim Your Fire Where Asked
You love the sound of your own solution. It’s fast, hot, and dazzling—and often unwanted. When someone brings you their ache, you grab the toolbox and flood them with fixes. That isn’t empathy. That’s control in a hero mask. Ask what they need first: advice or comfort. Strategy or a shoulder. Stop guessing. Your speed burns bridges and scorches the very person you claim to protect.
Questions are not weakness. They are aim. When you ask which they want, you give them the steering wheel while you supply the engine. Clear lanes prevent collisions. Advice without consent breeds resistance; comfort without clarity breeds resentment. The right container saves your firepower for impact. Listen for the request under the noise. Deliver only what was asked. Leave room for their own victory.
Cosmic Context
You are cardinal fire, built to start, not to smother. Aim Mars with consent and your blaze becomes hearth, not wildfire.
