Trust Yourself (but still consider outside advice)

One thing that I think is important to remember is that you have the power to trust yourself and find truth from inside of you. Sometimes people tell you what is right, but it really isn't always the case. In certain cases maybe someone may be stuck in a certain way of thinking that they will eventually get out of, like a teenager who is stuck looking at things from an emotional naive point of view. But then again, they are experiencing the world as a teenager, so they will be most happy and things will be more congruent if they live from their point of view as their age. Sure their parents don't want them to get hurt, but at the same time, what if the child is an individual with their own thoughts and feelings and ways of viewing things? What if they are willing to make themselves vulnerable because they realize that they want something badly? Sometimes it is much better to trust yourself then to be guided by outside forces. Trust me.
