Flip the Perspective: What Would You Tell a Friend in This Situation?

H howtolive.guide ·

We give better advice to others than to ourselves because distance reduces emotional noise. When agonizing over a decision, imagine a friend describing the exact same situation to you. What would you tell them? The answer usually comes quickly and clearly — because you're not tangled in the fear, attachment, and ego that cloud your own choices. That's probably the right answer for you too.

The point
The advice you'd give a friend in your situation is probably the right advice for you.
