In this video I comment on some of the things to bear in mind when friends and family offer advice. The majority of the time the people closest to you want to see you happy and enjoying life, but still may not offer helpful advice.
This is for a number of reasons. For example, they may be offering advice based on what they would do in a given situation, not what you ought to do.
They may see you in a certain way and offer advice based on that concept of you: beware this can deter you from trying new things!!
Also bear in mind that it's likely unhelpful to ask for advice from someone about a particular thing if they are struggling or not doing as well as you would like to in that aspect of your life. It makes more sense to ask the person who is thriving in that area about what works for them, and experiment to see if it helps you too, does it not?
Ultimately, the decisions you make must be your own, while utilising the informatiin offered to you in a way that feels right to YOU.
Thanks so much for watching and following the channel. I'm enjoying building the platform and feel motivated by anyone who has found these videos helpful.
