What’s the best advice you ignored that turned out to be spot on? We’ve all been there—someone gives you advice, you think, ‘Yeah, whatever man, that won’t happen to me!” only to later realize they were right. Maybe it’s about your career, family, or something else else entirely, but we’ve all done it. I’ve done it a lot, but the one that stings is the most is ignoring the advice not to take loved ones for granted. Losing my brother Andrew this year, I was reminded of all the plans we made ‘for later’ that we would now never get to do. If I could go back, I would say “Yes” to all those times he asked to hang out or shoot the shit, no matter how tired or busy I was. What’s some advice that you’ve gotten in the past and ignored only to realize later you should have listened sooner?

This post really hits home bro 😧. I think we've all had moments where we brushed off advice, thinking it didn’t apply to us or that we’d have more time. For me, the advice was to prioritize self-care and set boundaries with the loved ones. I was always someone who would go the extra mile for everyone around me, even if it meant sacrificing my own peace. Over time, it wore me down, and I realized that saying “No” isn’t selfish; it’s necessary. I wish I had listened sooner, as it would have saved me from a lot of burnout. What about you? Saying no for anything is really a tough task when loved ones are asking...is this situation happened with you also .?

I’m a people pleaser too, often to my own detriment. Great advice to take time for yourself and it’s not being selfish.

Tbh, I say no too much with my family and yes not enough. I need to prioritize spending more time with them. But I definitely understand where you’re coming from!
