The Only Advice You'll Ever Need

[Anonymous]

GaG is full of advice. The world is filled with advice. Irony is, reading this, it would be hard to separate this from other forms of useless advice, because it is still advice anyway you slice it, but there is just so much advice in the world in regards to how to live and how to be and how to overcome, that it can be extremely overwhelming. One day someone says in order to be successful you need to do this, and the next day someone says, don't do that other thing, do this one thing, and you can be happy. So many people are searching and searching for how to survive and thrive in this world, that they forget the only advice they really need above all else, is to listen to your own inner voice.

How many times have you wished you'd listened to that inner voice that is supposed to be your guide. You've ignored it because you listened to someone else telling you what to do and how to do it. Now, there is a difference between education, and advice. You should allow yourself to become educated by others---factual education is not advice, but the advice you do hear is often given by someone with their own motives. A parent is going to tell you the way to succeed in life is for example, to be a doctor, rather than perhaps what you want to be. Why, because doctors make money, they are generally considered very successful, and they bring pride to families, but being a doctor when you're not passionate about it, when you don't love what you do, is going to lead you into a life of misery.

Listen to yourself. Take a deep breath and actually allow your own thoughts and your own voice to have actual power over your next steps in life. You don't have to go by the timeline everyone else does because someone says you do. There is more than one way in life to be successful, to be happy, to make money, to find love, etc. I mean all of us know the blue print right. We need money to survive, you probably need some form of education, we try to find companionship, friendships, love, we may want kids, marriage. You don't need someone telling you that these things are important. You know this already.

This is part of listening to yourself. Decide for yourself what path you want to take. Someone else who has a path of success in their life, isn't necessarily going to work for you. If it did, then everyone who ever followed someone who "had it all figured out," would be able to replicate that success point for point and be successful and happy too. But life doesn't work that way. We each have our own minds, our own set of challenges and circumstances, and our own destinies, and it's up to us to figure out ways to get where we want to go in life. Use your own brain, your own wit, your own talents, your own drives and motivation to push you to get what you want and don't fear the idea of failure, because failures are only the solutions to problems that didn't work, but there are many more where those came from if only you'd listen to yourself and allow yourself to find them.
