Bad Advice

There are two kinds of advice in this world. Bad advice and right advice. This may not be the advice from others, but advice from yourself, deep within your heart. Small nuances in meaning in all these advice that you listen to can affect your happiness or change the outcome of the situation. Good advice does not neccessarily mean good, it could be bad, when  it generalises the situation or undermines your ability.  When that happens it becomes a bad advice. Imagine yourself riding a bicycle and holding onto the handle grip. It keeps the bicycle aligned  as you move forward. Then imagine what happens if you let go the grip. You will become unsteady and you will fall. A bad advice causes you to lose your grip and  fall. You see since young, we have all been grappling for something called self-worth.  You do something and you want to be recognised and rewarded for  your worth. But then someone comes along to give you good advice which denies you, or goes against  what you believe or really wanted. So you accepted it and you move on – unfulfilled. And then as you progress you feel more and more unfulfilled and disempowered. Then you ask what is wrong here? How is it you wanted something but subconsciously you deny yourself. and you could never be present to your own happiness.  Because you have been thought to deny yourself of your own self-worth and do the things that will make you fulfilled. And whether you realise it or not you have been taking action that hurts you. My advice to you my friend is to listen to the advice that will boost your self-confidence that will help you find your own self-worth,  and that will propel you forward.  Not an advice that leaves you confused,  indecisive, or become self-depreciating.
