"The truly unenlightened are always willing to tell you how enlightened they are."
The Chemical Buddha found people were always happy to tell him where he'd fucked up his life. And how much better they were than him. But what he also discovered was these very same people were often just as fucked up as he was. If not more. It was during this time he learned to trust his own counsel more. He also learned to consider the context of the person giving the advice. TCB knew everyone had their own problems to deal with. Said another way, he found no one's life was as perfect as it seemed. However, this didn't stop him from seeking the advice of others. He just didn't feel as compelled to follow it.
How do you let other's opinions of you influence your thought process?
What would happen if you trusted your own instincts and did what you thought was best? How would your life be different?
