It’s important to see advice as a tool. No one thing can be a panacea for your problem or dilemma. What might work for someone else, might not be best for you; one size does NOT fit all. Additionally, it’s paramount to always look at both sides of a situation. Seek to understand both the good and bad aspects of everything. Every situation involves pros and cons. There are always benefits as well as possible negative outcomes. It is important to know all sides of a situation to make an informed, good decision. Anyone who is not telling you the consequences of a practice does not have your best interest at heart. Lastly, don’t ever follow advice that creates pain and suffering. Good counsel leads to improvement. Even if it takes a little time, things should get better. Wise counsel promotes constructive practices that create sustainable solutions; build you up; and add value to your life.
