We all have people in our lives that we trust above everyone else. When something happens, these are the people we go to when we need a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk, someone to tell us where it all went wrong. With this in mind, what is the best advice you have ever been given? Did you follow that advice?
Friends are everything. Without friends, people would be lonely and sad. The memories you make together can help you get through rough times and hard days. Knowing there’s always someone to lean on is refreshing.
The best advice I’ve ever been given is to go with your heart. It sounds simplistic, but in all rationality is quite hard to apply. To go with your heart could mean to ignore the static in the background telling you to think or act one way, but instead you go with another. It could also mean to never hold back and to take opportunities that are knocking at your door. It could mean many different things to different people.
Unfortunately, I am very stubborn and indecisive. When decisions come my way, I tend to weigh out all possible options, think on it, reevaluate, think some more and then decide. However, when my friend told me this I knew the answers to what I wanted and followed them. This has been the best advice given to date for me and my life.

Sometimes the best advice seems the simplest but it is the hardest to do. It is very hard to follow your heart especially when logic is usually the means encouraged. No matter what is logical, you have to do what is best for you.

I think its a great bit of advice, because sometimes people tend to over think things. So to be able to move from evaluating and reevaluating to knowing exactly what you want to do is wonderful. Because you’re the only person who knows whats best for you.

I love the advice you chose. Mine was very similar. Follow your heart is a very wise advice and extremely hard to follow isn’t it? Well we should because that is the way to happiness!

I agree that we all can be very bull headed sometimes but those other times we realize that we could use it at any time
