What is the best advice that you could give to someone?
Hello you! This article will be different. I wanted to try something new where I could include all of your voices to answer a question, which in my opinion, is very pertinent. What is the best advice that you could give to someone? I asked this question on two of my social media accounts and I am so grateful to have had so many of you respond to it.
To make it easier for you to navigate through all of the pieces of advice I received, I tried to group them up into four main headlines. I hope you have a great read and that you are able to connect with some, if not all, of them!

No matter what situation you are in, you should always aim to become a better version of yourself. If you have the willingness to achieve something, then focus on yourself to accomplish your goal.

Best advice: learn to love yourself; this will be your greatest strength throughout your life. Self-love is so important, I don’t think people lay enough emphasis on this topic. Know your strengths as well as your flaws. Work on your flaws, do things to improve your life. Follow your goals and dreams. Every little step is significant, believe me. Also, be thankful. Be thankful for everything that you have right now in your life: a happy family; a roof, an education, good friends, pets. Finally, be kind. Kindness in terms of action or even through your words. It costs basically nothing to smile, offer some words of encouragement or support or help someone in need. Be an example you would want your child to see and inspire too. 🌺

Respect beings; irrespective of their age. Go out and enjoy life but never abuse. Even an excess of water, which is virtuous, in your body, is fatal. So, be moderate in everything you do. Make others happy but know your self-worth and self-respect as well. if you could think of naysayers as objects, then it would be awesome. You would ignore every negative talk about you. your job is to create more leaders instead of followers and as far as possible, don’t follow the herd. Even the majority is going in a particular path, it doesn’t mean that they are going in the right direction.

Here is the thing people! If you are just strong everyday, you will be fake. No one is ever just strong. Everybody has their weak sides. Despite being a new version of yourself today, I am sure at times, you still go back to the old times and cry. But at the end of the day what makes you who you are is that these old times are now just memories. Memories that you will be taking on with you. So It is completely fine to be weak. It 's okay to say that you can't do it anymore. It's okay to feel sad and lost. What's not okay is to always feel weak. What's not okay is to quit forever. What's not okay is to not find the way. Just like when you are lost, you don't stay and wait for help. You try to find help little by little. Do the same thing. Help yourself little by little. Set a goal everyday. Motivate yourself to work towards it. If you feel torn in the morning, that's okay. Give up. But at night, find yourself again. That's what is real. That's what will help you. And if you think all this is wrong, that's even okay. But maybe you could just take the time to think about it a little bit?

THE 'I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GROUP THIS ADVICE' ADVICE
Always salt your pasta.
- Shahanna Imowa
*****
As for me, the best advice that I could give is simply not to judge others, especially when they do not fit into our perception of what should be acceptable or what should not be. Remember, our reality is not anyone else's to cherish. The world is already full of negativity as it is, let us not add to that.
Sending buckets full of love your way,
Kavya H. Saikia 🌸
