We often ask people for advice on what to do with our lives. But how would they know?
You know who you are and what makes you tick. You know your fears and dreams. You know how hard you can push and what makes you give up.
Figuring out your life can’t be outsourced.
And here is an unpopular truth – often, we know what we should do. But it feels daunting. So advice-seeking becomes a wonderful distraction – it feels comforting and gives a false sense of progress.
Yes, occasionally, talking to someone may give you some clarity. But that is likely to be only 1% of the answer. 99% of the answer lies within you.
Take time to reflect. Write a journal. Be honest. And once the path is visible, take responsibility to act on it.
When it is time for action, don’t go seeking more advice. Do it.
