There are some decisions in this world that I need to make for myself. At the end of the day, the consequences, rewards and end products of the decisions are your own. Everyone else can give all the advice that they want, but they don’t have to live through it all. They don’t have to be in your shoes when you press that final button, accept/ decline button nor do they fully understand the circumstances surround it.
Everyone says, walk a thousand miles in another shoes before you judge. Yet so often, I find myself giving advice so freely, knowing that even after a thousand miles in another’ shoes, I still won’t understand the context of any big decisions.
At some point I need to take ownership of my decisions, instead of
letting those around me, however well-intention, make them for me. I think looking over the past year it's clear which of my friends were there for me at my lowest. They were there when I needed to complain and were happy for my success. These friends are provide a stark contrast to those who can't stop talking about themselves.
There’s a time and place to let others know when you’re doing
well, but it is not all the time. Sure, it’s feels good to be a braggart, but
it’s not great for everyone around you.
And yeah it irks me.
