What is the Issue with Taking Advice?

Another Person’s Advice is not Applicable
Taking Advice is not Taking Responsibility
The only way in which you can find your own solutions is to think on your own. A life coach or an empowerment coach can help you in this by asking the right questions, holding a non-judgmental space, and providing support.
I end this post with a challenge that was put out there by Emmanuel Kant – Sapere Aude (Dare to Know). If you have the courage to know yourself, and understand your own mind, you can find your solutions with a little help. The question is only if you have that courage and openness!
PS: People will still give you advice and it is good to listen to what they have to say. It gives you different perspectives. However, listening to others people’s advice is not the same as applying it to your situation and doing exactly as they did. The information you get from others can be used very fruitfully as data that goes into your own decision-making process to find your own solutions.
