NOT Every Single Sage Advice Is Sage Enough

 

Here's a giveaway question.  WHAT is one of the most quoted comments in Meta's FB?  You're spot on, dude.  YES, it's this "FEELING BLESSED" comment that has become kind of a 'run of the mill'.  BUT not to douse cold water for those fulfilling moments, the reality here is NOT every single sage advice is sage enough.  True, we are blessed we got parents, coaches, mentors and elders WHO selflessly advise us of the most important things that will help us survive this rough-and-tumble life we all got📗📙📘

Sadly, even with the best intentions and even WHEN done in good faith, we are egged to reassess with a grain of salt some of these advices.  LIKE WHEN we are told to be JUST BE YOURSELF.  And while authenticity is important, being your TRUE SELF with your friends and family and NOT being envious of those WHO are showing off their lavish lifestyle is very important for your mental health.  LIKE if you're suffering from 'SOCIAL ANXIETY' and you CAN'T even get in a room full of people, let alone hold a conversation💥💥💥

So, WHILE we humans can improve, and become the best versions of ourselves, trying to become that best version is NOT comfortable initially and we're told that to BE YOURSELF means to be authentic and try NOT to be someone else.  Problem is some people take it a bit too far and use it as an excuse to stay complacent.  Another misleading advice we're hearing is that GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT.  Heard of this chronic trap???

NO Senor.  GOOD THINGS DON'T COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT.  Instead, GOOD THINGS come to those WHO persevere.  If you are just sitting and waiting there, thinking that things will eventually work out, trust me, you'll NOT go anywhere farther in life. To improve, you've got to determine WHAT you want to become, then craft a plan, and take action toward your goal every single day.  There's simply NO faster way to improve than doing the actual work every day.  Verily true, there are some situations WHEN even vigorous and determined people do get discouraged WHEN they DIDN'T get to see the results yet, OR things just get harder.  And at that time, the advice 'GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT' works.  Frankly, we got to be patient and consistent during the process BUT for starters, it is a loud NO!!!  We have to put in the effort to take action💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  HOW about 'FOLLOW YOUR PASSION'?  People think that WHEN they get to do the work they love all the problems are solved.  They say ''JUST DO THE THING YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT", whew.  BUT in reality, it's all an illusion because all work requires effort, there's NO such thin as easy work.  If you want to become good at something it requires time energy and a huge amount of effort😃😃😃
