Advice From Who?

You are taking advice from who?  Are you sure that’s a good idea?  At some point in our lives, we all seek advice from others.  Whether it is about a job, a relationship, or an important decision that we need to make.  Unfortunately, not everyone is genuine with their advice, and surprisingly, their advice goes against what they believe in.  Therefore, we should only seek advice from people that we trust, and who have our best interests at heart. 

Seeking advice from others gives us a different perspective on things, and often allows us to look at something from a different light and consider other options.  Depending on what is going on, we may be too emotionally invested to see a situation clearly.  Great advice can help us to make better decisions, especially when seeking advice from people who have more knowledge or experience in a particular area.

However, it is important to be selective about who we take advice from, since not all advice is good advice.  Perhaps you need advice about life in general, and whether or not you should go down a particular path.  Why would you seek or take advice from someone who does not have their own life together?  Someone whose life is full of chaos and drama?

When seeking advice, we must also be aware of our own biases, since we often seek advice from people who will agree with us or tell us what we want to hear, instead of what we need to hear.  We truly need to be open to different perspectives, and we must be willing to consider advice that may challenge our own beliefs.

Ultimately however, you are responsible for your life and your decisions.  While there is nothing wrong with listening to advice from the right people and weighing it carefully, it is ultimately up to you to make the best choices for yourself and your family.
