I stopped listening to advice
This is my story, not Do’s and Don’ts you usually see
I used to follow everyone’s rules, advice, and vision. I needed to feel part of something, to not feel rejected, to not feel alone.
I acknowledge that all my family, friends, acquaintances and strangers consciously or not pull me in their direction. Like me, everybody needs to feel understood.
But if I let people pull me in every direction, I would become the human I don’t want to become.
I started to stop listening to advice from people who I wouldn’t switch lives with. The whole life. What’s beautiful and shiny shared on social medias and the mental biases they would never tell anyone.
The truth is I never met that person yet → therefore I don’t listen to advice.
I’ve stopped reading news. I reduced my social media consumption to 5 minutes per day. I stopped letting numbers on social media influence my opinion (meet the Alice extension). I stopped reading Medium’s recommendations.
I only consume what people I admire recommend me.
And I’m not diving into their thoughts, it’s for inspiration only.
I will document, not recommend.
From now on, I will only share my story. I won’t give you the “3 reasons why X” nor “why you should Y”. Simply because:
- you may not want to switch my life with yours
- I know nothing
Instead of following other’s recommendations, I live a life of experimenting. I need to try what’s good and bad for me.
Hey, it looks like I’m trying to write to see if I like it ⚡️
I won’t influence people into joining my path.
Only sharing it, for you to pick inspiration from if you want. Or not.
Ignore my advice. Follow your own.
Stay tuned if you want to get inspiration from my story 👏
