Genesis 41:9
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.

I hate being reminded of my shortcomings. You’ll often hear things like…
“I would of….” or “You should of…”
The problem with “I would of(s)….” and “You should of(s)…” is
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO TO LISTEN TO?
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO TO LISTEN TO?
Look we are going to have shortcomings… It’s inevitable! When we do it’s important that I get a good perspective on how I can do it right or better in some cases. It’s important to be able to FILTER who you let advise you on how to correct your shortcomings. I have a simple strategy that I turn to in these circumstances… I ask these 3 questions before I will listen to anyone giving me advice about my shortcomings:
1) Does this person genuinely love Jesus Christ?
2) Does this person genuinely love me and want God's BEST for me?
3) Does this person’s background suggest he/or she genuinely knows what they are talking about!
- In other words, “are they smoking what they are selling?”
If they meet these requirements I will genuinely listen to their thoughts and opinions about how to rectify a shortcoming of mine…

Thats good! Awesome comment ! Those 3 checks need to be posted on Facebook. :-)
