No One Can Give You Your Answer.

When you ask someone for advice, what you’re really asking for is a reflection of their experience. Their answer isn't just an answer.
It’s a sum of everything they’ve lived, seen, avoided, feared, or fought through.
That’s why two people can give you completely different guidance on the same question. Because they’re not speaking to your path. They’re speaking from theirs.
And this is why, while external voices can guide you, influence you, or help you reflect… they can’t decide for you. Your real answer. Your next step.
It can only be found internally.
That’s the hard part.
Looking inward isn’t always empowering. It can feel terrifying when self-belief is low. When the voice inside feels uncertain, or quiet, or buried beneath years of outsourcing trust to others. But trusting yourself and believing you can find your own answers is where the shift begins.
By recognising the gap between the unknown and the known, and believing that you can close that gap by any means necessary.
Ask others. Learn from them. Hear their stories. But don’t confuse their answers for your truth.
Use their experiences to inform, not define, your choices.
The direction you’re looking for has been inside you the whole time.
You just have to be willing to trust and listen.
