There is good advice everywhere. Everywhere you look there is someone or something giving you “good” advice. In fact there is so much of it, I often feel it cloud my own personal wisdom.
For instance, you have the carefree advice of “Don’t worry about it, things will work out.” Or “Everything happens for a reason, and the right things always come.”
And then you have the, “Be smart and make good decisions, and plan ahead.”
Well both of those sound great. So how does one choose?
No one wants to be a chicken and live in fear of the ‘what ifs’. Yet most people also don’t want to be known as rash. So what comes first the chicken or the egg?
Whenever I am confused and can’t decide, this quote comes to my mind, “The brave do not live forever, yet the cautious do not live at all.” Perhaps the wisdom in this quote is that you can never be certain on anything. Taking risks is just a part of life. But remember being smart, and being cautious are two different things.
The best advice I have every heard is simple. Go with your gut and do what YOU think is best. After all you are the one that has to live with your choice. Don’t be afraid to take a risk or two....what’s the worst that could happen?
Be true to you, and throw your chickens and eggs out the window (preferably not onto someones head).
