This I Believe…

I believe that taking your own advice is the best advice you can take. This is because you know yourself better than anyone else, and your advice will help you. One day I went to school. It was supposed to be any normal day but, the unexpected was happened. I found out that most of my friends had hurt themselves over something bad that happened. Things like cutting, bulimia, suicidal thoughts, abuse, and alcohol. I got so mad at all of them. I sat down with some of them during lunch, lectured them, and gave them advice. In the end I started to hear myself talk. I thought about the time I did something to myself that was similar to the things my friends were doing to themselves. I told my best friend about it and she got so mad at me, but all she told me was “Candy you always give out the best advice people can get, but when it comes to yourself, you have had no advice to give. Why don’t you start taking your own advice?”  I took her advice and starting listening to myself. I realized that the advice I gave my friends was the advice I gave to myself. I stopped to think…..and all I could say after that was “you guys are just going to have to trust yourself and take your own advice, because it’s the best advice you got that’s good for you.” In school I tend to run into a lot of drama with my friends! Yet all I can do is stand there and give them some advice, as they do the same for me. I know my advice will change something in their lives, but yet I notice that what I tell my friends always means, “You’re just going to have to trust yourself, and your advices will lead you through this.” Now the only advice I have to say is if you’re feeling down, sad, depressed, of even confused you’re just going to have to think about what’s good for you and how you can achieve that greatness, and take it!
