Everybody has an opinion. Everybody has advice. Everybody has something to say about your relationship, your career, your friendships, your money, your parenting, and the decisions you make in life. But the question is: should you really be listening to everybody?In this episode of OffTh3wall, I’m talking about why you have to be careful who you allow to influence your decisions. Sometimes the person giving you advice genuinely wants the best for you. But sometimes people speak from their own pain, jealousy, insecurities, experiences, or failures—and they can unknowingly lead you down a path that was never meant for you.Just because somebody has been through something doesn’t mean their experience is your destiny.You have to learn how to listen without automatically accepting everything you hear. There’s a difference between receiving advice and allowing someone else to control your life. Not everybody knows your circumstances, your heart, your goals, or what you’ve been praying for.And sometimes the people closest to you can give you the worst advice because they’re looking at your situation through their own perspective.That doesn’t mean you should ignore everybody. It means you need discernment.Pay attention to who gives you advice. Do they practice what they preach? Do they genuinely want to see you grow? Do they challenge you to become better, or do they encourage you to stay comfortable? Do they want you to heal, or do they want you to stay angry?Everybody deserves to be heard, but everybody doesn’t deserve influence over your life.Sometimes God gives you a vision that other people won’t understand. Sometimes your next level requires you to stop taking advice from people who have never been where you’re trying to go.Listen—but think. Hear them—but use discernment. And never let somebody else’s perspective become the prison that keeps you from becoming who you’re supposed to be.

Be careful who you listen to, because they may be sending yo dumbass to hell
