Advice

"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't." ~ Erica Jong

How many times do you ask for advice and never take it?  There are many reasons for this.
  • You want someone else to blame for something not working
  • The advice is not right for you at this moment in time.
  • What you are told to do is too daunting.
  • You didn't like the answer.
  • Procrastination with things you don't want to do.
  • The person who gave you the advice didn't have enough information.
Instead of asking for advice - do some soul searching.  Ask yourself questions related to your problem.  Take the time to break things down and do the pros and cons.  It's ok to ask what others would do in your situation but, stop short of having others tell you what to do.  Find the answers within yourself and watch yourself grow.

Affirmation: "I will seek the answers to my own questions.  It will make me stronger."
