When To Take Advice

Have you ever been in a situation (bad or good) and people are quick to give you advice?  Everybody has different opinions. and you don't know who's advice you should take, if anyone's at all.  Here's some guidelines.






1. If a person is going through a similar situation and they aren't following their own advice, THEN DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE.


2. If a person is always making careless mistakes and causing most of the problems in their relationships  (and they don't realize it) THEN DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE.


3. If they've given you horrible advice on numerous occasions, DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE.




4. If your friend is a compulsive liar then....DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE.


5. If you have a gut feeling that your friend doesn't have your best interest at heart DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE.


6. If your friend has his/her nose in everybody's business then...DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE.


7.  If your friend can speak on a situation from one perspective, and doesn't think about the entire picture then... DON'T TAKE THEIR ADVICE.


Side note: Everybody seeks advice in their lifetime, but sometimes you already know the best course of action.  You might seek advice, but it doesn't mean you have to take it.  Use advice to your advantage.  Before you take action, think about the possible outcomes, and then pick the best course of action.
