Follow Your Own Advice

I just realized I give the best advice, no seriously I probably do. It might be some cliché shit I spit out though, actually. I was just meditating on a negative situation I am in with how I may be treating someone.

Everyone’s been here, so I just thought about who I would ask for advice from on the subject. Instantly I remembered the a conversation with someone else and me on the other side giving advice. Advice is pretty much telling someone what you’d do in their specific dilemma. So who better for you to ask for advice than, you?? Many times when asking for advice we leave out what got us in that specific situation to begin with. That’s to keep our secrets or to keep our conscience clear of whether we’re actually in the fucking wrong for once.

The best reason to ask your damn self for advice is because it’s a chance for self-reflection. And self-reflection taps into our intuition because it’s our personal advisor. Intuition is the communication we receive from the source of everything. So when we’re reflecting to/on ourself we are speaking with our creator and source of everything. That’s why intuition feels so natural and it’s never wrong. Instructions come from Intuition.

All the advice you’ve ever given was just you talking to yourself. Think of advice as a reference book for your intuition. Whatever the fuck you told the homie to do when they came to you is probably what you should do in similar situations.

Sometimes people just need advice so you can tell them what they already know. Stop wasting people’s time, do what that little voice is already telling you! It will mean more to your subconscious coming from yourself anyway.
