The Difference Between Advice and Validation

When most people ask for advice...

They aren't actually seeking the truth.

They are seeking validation.

They want someone to tell them they're right.

They want someone to confirm their beliefs.

They want someone to stroke their ego.

...and because they're unwilling to look outside of their current beliefs to find the truth...

They stay stuck exactly where they are in life forever.

Losers seek validation.

Winners seek the truth.

They don't want to be told what they're doing right...

They want to be told what they're doing wrong so they can improve.

That's the difference.

Yes ... The truth may hurt.

It may bruise your ego.

It may force you to admit you were wrong.

...but it's also what you need to hear if you're ever going to get better.

Embrace the truth and it will set you free.

Seek validation and it will continue to serve you the same shit you've always gotten.

What's it gonna be?
