Prejudices and Biases might produce Opinionated Guidance.
?
BEWARE !!! Yes, Do it. No, Don't do it.
?These are not advice but merely the opinions of the other person. Never take them as an advice.
If someone explains to you, yes you can do this because of X, Y, Z reasons and in A, B,C scenarios or no you shouldn't do it because of L, M, N reasons and in P, Q, R scenarios, only then these are advices.
A lot, on the situation. Is it something you can change in the near future?
?Or is it something you adapt to in the near future?
?What makes you question what would be the right choice?
What is the outcome and/or the process of that choice?
Remember, nothing is always certain in life. Things can change really easily and most likely, you could be seeing the situation in an optimistic way but not in a realistic way at all.
And they later don't work out for you and you regret not going the other way in the past and letting go of whatever held you back. It happened to me. A lot of regrets and dissatisfaction came.
If the majority of your friends and family agree on the same thing, and you have the opposite view and are backed up by a few friends, it's possible that the majority is right.
?Because they are able to see above and beyond whatever that's holding you back. Of course, it could be totally opposite. You may know better because you know what's holding you back. And you know possibly what could be the solution.
They don't know what's holding you back and whatever that is, you need to think about it.
Is it something that can affect your life for the next 10 years and decide your future?
Is it absolutely certain that this issue that's holding you back won't change at all in any given time?
Analyze the real importance of this issue. But most importantly, don't overthink. See how your happiness can be promised in countless ways and in time and which path gives the best way for it.
Don't pick something you can adapt to, thinking that your given issue will last for a long time and by that, not as in forever, but also as in for a long time and then ceases to exist.
That's compromising your happiness on something that can be easily changed. You decide what is best for you, you're the controller.
The advice of others is opinions of a situation they may not know of. You listening to yourself can have bias.
Conclude accepting what they say, and what you say, analyzing what's holding you back, see if it will work out truly regardless of change and if you will be happy in the long term, not short as time changes life.
Being true to yourself means seeing above the personal bias, which may be wanting of short-term happiness that may be followed by long-term disappointment but thinking that you can deal with it. Understand the situation, not under or over-estimate.

Thank you?….Remember that.

Not even your family.
Not even the society.
Each time you listen to that one advice will, in turn, derail your life pathway.
Because, simply put, everyone wants to speak the thing that THEY WANT TO HEAR, not YOU.
So think about that, living a life authentically isn’t simple, you do not want to disappoint anybody.
But as always, your idea should stand above them all.
Should I do what I want, or should I listen to everyone else?
Do what you want. Find out for yourself. Don't let anyone tell you what to do.
Live for yourself. Grab life by the horns. Don't let people think for you.
If you let ppl tell you what to do, you are an empty shell. A brainless idiot who can't even remember to brush their teeth in the morning….
Do you want to add a word or two?
Every human being has their own definition of what is right and what is wrong.
Hence an individual’s actions are mostly based on his perspective of what is right.
You will always find a set of people who share your point of view and even more assuredly you will find a set of people who totally disagree with you.
So when it comes to choosing between what you feel is the right thing to do and what others feel is the correct course of action, think about what will ensure that you will have no regrets going forward. ‘cz Ultimately that's what matters. No regrets.
Your comments ……
You should do what is right and aligned with your morals.
?If you are confused about something and don’t know what to do, seek advice from people you feel would be appropriate.
Seek out someone that is wiser and has life experiences to back up what they are telling you.
Definitely should be someone you respect.
Consult with people, but make sure that you are making your own choices.

1 个月It is not hard and fast that always when you follow your gut you will have no regrets. We are all human and are bound to mess up at some point in time. Also, it is not mandatory that you will always end up having no regrets when you are accommodative of other people's suggestions. Situations change and demand of us also to broaden the horizon. So the final thing is, think before you leap, enjoy the zest of life, and make your choices such that there will be no room for regrets later on.
