How do you take advice? What do you do with things that people tell you? My problem is that I am gullible and easily persuaded. If something tells me something I immediately just instinctively trust the best in people and I believe them. I am perceptive enough to question what they say soon after, but I fall into traps super easily. Saying that, I just had a conversation with someone I haven't spoken to in a while, and they told me something that I hadn't heard before. A pretty important, possible deal breaker in a part of my life. My first instinct is to be furious and impulsively act. But since I know this about myself; I stopped. So now, what do I do? Formulate a plan, I suppose. Now, I do know this information is based somewhat on truth. My concern is that the person exaggerated a fair amount, or is just a little misguided. But at the same time, what they said may not effect my decision, whether it is true or not. Mostly because I think I've been coming to that conclusion anyway. If that is the case, that this particular information wouldn't change my conclusion...then I know that is the right thing to do, for sure. I'm gaining strength. All I need is a little bit of time to gain momentum. Luckily I have 4 days. Bring it on.
