The answer to this question depends on who you are and what you want advice for.
That said, generally I would say the following:
- Yourself.
First of all, seek your own counsel.
Trust yourself, and if you don’t trust the version of yourself to offer the advice you sense you seek in the moment, then maybe let your higher self guide you?
What do I mean by this?
Nothing more complicated than allowing a deeper part of you to guide you. What is your gut instinct? Or do you have an intuition about the situation.
There are other exercises that can help with this, some of which are shared here, here, here, and here. So I won’t go into them any deeper here. But yes, seek your own counsel. First and foremost learn to trust yourself.
If you want a second opinion then this… - Someone Else
Seek out someone who you can see has accomplished the thing/s that you are seeking to accomplish, or is expressing the qualities you wish to express. Not because they tell you that is what they have done, but because you see the evidence of it in them. Show them courtesy and, where sought, explain your reasons. Be prepared to explain the ways in which you sought the answer first and where you got stuck seeking a solution. Be prepared to identify what it is they have accomplished that led you to seek their advice. If they do not wish to share advice then accept that graciously too. If they do share advice then show them the courtesy of listening with your mind and your heart. Once you part, go back to step one. - No Such Thing
I was once told that there is no such thing as good advice because wise people don’t need it and idiots ignore it. I’m still confused as to where that locates me on the spectrum for hearing a truth in it?
Either way, it illustrates the point of steps 1 and 2. At the end of the day, the final choice comes back to you.
Know yourself, and to your own self be true.
