real advice: what’s yours?

group of teens

This week, we’re going to reverse roles. Instead of answering a question, I’m asking you a question:

“What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?”

There’s no wrong answer here, and you’re not being graded. I promise! This is your chance to help another reader, so think about it and comment. I’m looking forward to reading your advice!

I know it sounds kind of cliche but the best advice I’ve ever received about something was from my mom about meeting new teenagers and she just told me to be myself. It was never easy, but it does work. :)

The best advice… hmm…

Mine is kind of similar to Judi’s, but someone told me once just to be “Unashamedly me.”

P.S. (I wasn’t done, but I spasmodically hit “Submit Comment”.) Anyway: Turns out, following that advice has been one of the best things I’ve ever done, and continue to (try to) do.

What about you?

Basically all my good advice come from my parents or the Bible, recently the best has been “Give all your worries to God for he cares about you” :) It’s really useful and it’s from 1 Peter 5:7. :)

Good stuff! Let’s see.. I don’t really remember who told me this but wherever it came from, it’s helpful and encouraging for anyone who has been tempted to change for someone they like (and haven’t we all been there??): “Be yourself and one day someone will come along and love you for it.”

And guess what? It worked! =)

About a year ago my dad told me to “listen more, talk less.” This phrase has never left my mind and I know that I have benefited from it on more than one occasion!

That’s great advice, Jennifer! I love it! And I need to practice it more…
