Today’s truth: I am not always good at taking advice of those who’ve gone before me — *even* when I have solicited their advice. I always want to do it differently, convinced that my experience will be or is unique just because I am me. I’m not talking about instinct or gut knowing, but a cocky “well I’m going to do it my way” attitude.
It’s an oft unhealthy view. I often learn the hard way that those who gave advice were right. I need to change this. It is hard. I am working on it — still. I may be working on it my whole life. I need to get better at filtering and listening to those whom I respect and who do have my interests at heart.
That is all. For now.
Working on it.
