I Am Seeking Advice
A few weeks ago, I posed a question on X (formerly known as Twitter). It was a simple one.
I asked, “Does anyone have any advice on how you know the right person to marry?”
FYI, divorce is a fear of mine.
Marriage isn’t in my plans for now, but love seems inevitable. I figured I might as well see what others on the platform had to say. It might come in handy down the road.
The willingness to answer my question was somewhat surprising. I don’t think I’ve had such insightful engagement before. I am grateful to those who shared some wisdom with me and the rest of the world. For those who are curious, here are a few of the responses I received:
- “Your spouse should be your best friend who you can trust fully and be yourself without a mask.”
- “Focus on making yourself the best person you can, and as a byproduct, you will attract some amazing people.”
- “Look for five important qualities: emotional fitness, courageous vision, resilient resourcefulness, curiosity, and compassionate support.”
They were answers I won’t forget any time soon, but there’s one thing I want you to take from this. I’m not asking you to request marriage advice from people on the Internet (that’s just me), but I’m asking you to seek advice.
Thanks to social media, smartphones, and other wonders of the 21st century, we are more interconnected than ever. There are unlimited places where we can find advice on things ranging from marriage to writing.
Maybe it takes one post or text to get the advice you need to change your life. Don’t take technology for granted. The power is in your hands now.
I realize you might feel stupid or judged when you ask a question, but ask yourself if you’re better off without the advice. I ask dumb questions to get good advice all the time because I don’t want to f*ck up. You and I will need advice, so let’s leverage our connections to make the right choices. Remember that you are one piece of advice away from becoming better today than you were yesterday.
That’s it from me today. If you’re someone on a journey of self-improvement to lead a happier and healthier life, drop me a follow for more content like this. It would be a massive help if you shared or commented. Thanks for your time!
