Feb 19, 2023 · So we asked them: What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? Here are 10 pieces of well-worn advice from therapists, career coaches, relationship experts and writers.
- “Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears.” If you refuse to accept that someone has injured or offended you, the injury itself ceases to exist (except perhaps in the minds of others).
- “No one but you gets to decide how much you can handle.” No one else can tell you how much energy you have or how much more you should be doing with the energy you have.
- “Those who pass judgment on you reveal more about themselves than about you.” Some people will look for reasons to hate you or to write you off as a bad person or unworthy.
- “Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?” Truly happy people aren’t those who never experience pain or suffering.
- Your life is your responsibility. Please read this carefully, taking in each and every word: There is one person and one person alone over whom you have control in this life—and that is yourself.
- The way someone treats you is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. That cross look? Not about you. That snide comment? That temper tantrum?
- Life is all about managing expectations—most of all your own. The world will expect many things from you. And you will expect many things in return. The key is to manage its expectations of you—and yours of it.
- When you know better, do better. Maya Angelou once said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Frequently cited by Oprah as some of the best advice she’s ever received, this quote serves as a reminder of a simple truth: We’re all figuring out this thing called life as we grow through it.

- Take care of your health. Everything you eat, every bit of physical exercise you do will have an impact on your overall well-being. This goes for the present as well as how you’ll feel decades from now.
- Trust your own judgment. How many times have you set aside your own intuition on a situation because someone else has tried to convince you otherwise?
- Learn to be comfortable with discomfort. You’ll undoubtedly come across situations that make you feel uncomfortable. Learn to acknowledge that you’re feeling “off,” without the desperate need to change your circumstances.
- Develop strong coping mechanisms. This goes along with the previous piece of advice. You’ll experience many things in life that may upset or shock you.
