Best Estate Planning Attorneys in Tupelo, MS

Are You Being Manipulated? If someone pressures you to do what he deems as expedient, your willingness to do so may reduce the pressure for the short term. The consequence of doing only what someone else wants, without regard to the concerns and cares of others, is a problem. Why, because choices have been made without regard to the circumstances, needs, or consequences of others. The consequences may not be felt immediately, yet ultimately someone -- even the person whose demands were met -- will have to bear the costs, whether emotional or financial. Certainly, it will adversely affect the one who was pressured. So what should you do when this occurs? Follow your instincts and don't ignore what you know is right and wise. Consider how choosing to act on their request will affect others and yourself. Talk to a close empathetic friend. Don’t be pressured by one who only considers his own interests or desires. If you do, you will find yourself having been used, rather than cared for. Acting in one's self-interest is not always bad; self-preservation comes to mind. Being selfish without regard to how it affects anyone else rarely works well -- including the person dictating the choices. How do we know this? People come to our office after having been exploited by greedy, selfish persons. The issues are expensive and emotional to resolve when folks don’t care about anyone but themselves.
