When others give us their unsolicited advice, it should be taken with a grain of salt. Often, it may have more to do with their issues rather than what you really need.
However, when we go seek others for their advice, and they offer it, there should be no question about whether to take it.
Unfortunately, we can get caught up in thinking it’s not the advice we wanted… or it’s not as easy as we hoped… so then we ignore it. Fast forward a few years and we’ll be seeking that same advice again with similar results.
If you’re seeking advice – take it.
