As we go through life, people tend to run into problems or issues in their life from time to time. When you are struggling, it is really easy to ask other people what they think you should do, however sometimes, being told what to do, is not what is best for you.

If you are having a problem, you are the only person that understands completely how that problem is affecting you. You are also the only person that truly knows the solution because you know what you need. People often seek out advice from others because they don't want to make the decision that you know that you have to make. Seeking out advice is sort of like looking for a way out without having to face the problem head on.

Now, the people that give you advice do mean well. They may think they have a good understanding of the situation, but they don't know what is truly in your heart. Only you do, and only you can make the difficult decisions for yourself.

Ultimately if you seek out advice, and ignore making the difficult decisions then you are going to end up prolonging your pain and avoiding the situation. The advice may work for short term, but the issue will recur and you will eventually have to make that hard decision anyways.

The best way to help your heart and mind in getting to a place where you can make difficult decisions is to remove yourself from the situation. Try to clear your head. Going for a run, listening to loud music, relaxing and taking a bubble bath, are all helpful. Find a method that works for you, and calm down. You can only make a solid decision with a clear head.

Try to let go. Try to look inside yourself and decide what is best for you. It does not matter if people think you need to do otherwise, forget the outside opinion and make the decision that will be best for you.
