In many situation we need others advice, but taking care that do not follow anything blindly because third person’s advice can mislead you if that person have not proper idea of your situation. You can follow other’s advice but do not apply in life without applying your own knowledge. Taking advice from others may save your time and energy if you choose any expert. But still you have to explain your condition in detail for useful advice.
First you have to take time to reflect that is advice is from any exert of that field or basis on person’s personal experience. If you are taking advice from someone’s personal experience that can be delude you. Personal advice may be negative and misguide you but expert’s advice gives direction to you. Whenever you taking advice pause and ask that “whether the advice aligns with your core values and aspiration??” While other people advice you consider the intuition of that person, compare external input with your own intuition and than decide either you have to follow it or ignore it?
I listen from very knowledgeable(Spiritually and Socially) person that every person has to take responsibility of their own life and do not have to blame others for whatever happened in life. According to them every person has to take responsibility that everything happen because of own mistake but this is not right sometimes because when we take responsibility of our mistake it may be lead towards guilt and regret which is not right for our emotional, mental, spiritual and physical health . It is good to take responsibility that whatever happens that is consequence of our karma i.e. because of word, action or behavior which can be from past or present. Whenever we regret on mistake which we did for a long time possibility of same situations coming in our life increases and life become harder but if we accept the result and move on life becomes beautiful than your expectations.
It is good to taking other’s advice while we are confuse but do not apply it with your situations before applying your own knowledge. Also ask to yourself is someone’s else advice solve our problem or it will increase complexity? Remember that you have to make decision which advice is useful for your growth and success.-
