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? 94 replies

First and foremost, I’m really sorry about your brother. I have a lot of moments like this, but one really stood out. It was about football. On that fateful day, my mom specifically asked me not to go play. Football was my thing, but for some reason, she was adamant—she just said, ‘Don’t play today.’
A few hours later, she went out, and my friends came over, ready for a game. I figured, ‘Sure, let’s do it.’ But as soon as I stepped onto the field, not even a minute in, I fractured my left hand. To this day, my hand isn’t the same; it still bends differently, and that injury started a lasting phobia for playing football out of fear of getting hurt again.
This one hits hard because football was a sport I loved, but I just can’t bring myself to play it anymore. If I could go back, I would have listened to her that day. I’m not sure if it’s totally relevant to the topic, but it feels good to share- I mean that’s why I joined /success 🫶 1 reply
