Epiphany!

We are bombarded by advice from different people each an every day. Each person has there own idea of how you should react to certain events in life and they are more than willing to express their own opinions.

“Be careful whose advice you buy; but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it, is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.”

The truth is that as easy as it is to learn from other people’s mistakes the true lessons in life are those that we learn for ourselves. Eventually we learn to trust our own intuition and the sooner we learn how to do that the better.

Intuition is a resource that we never fail to underestimate. If we would just listen how often would disaster be averted? How often could we have saved ourselves from torment if we would just listen to that nagging feeling in our stomachs? Listen to the voice in our heads?  

Well, I for one, know for sure that if I would just listen to my own advice I could have avoided many tears, many break ups and many broken hearts.

So my advice is this; if you have to convince yourself that what you are doing is right, or if you have even the slightest doubt in your mind, then DON’T do it!

But, don’t take my advice, because this is an epiphany worth having.
