Who do you listen to for advice in your life? I pointed out to a client of mine this morning that if a person is offering you advice they should fit into two categories: Been there, done it: These people are exactly like you want to be, they have achieved the goals or similar ones that you have set out for yourself. People like this are usually great mentors. Have trained someone to do it: Pretty straight forward, they have helped or trained people like you to achieve these goals. For example, I have never had a weight problem before but I have helped lots of people lose 25-30kg from smart training, mindset and nutrition adjustments. If the person giving you advice does not fit into these categories, almost universally disregard it. Particularly if it is about your appearance, shape or something you are working hard on to change. It does not matter if they are your spouse, children, family, friends or work colleagues. These people in your life will often be attacking your personal decisions and choices as a way of hiding their own issues or to make themselves feel better. If someone is fat and they are saying you look too skinny, slap the cake out of their hand and walk away, you will do both of you a big favour. Mr Minimalism. P.S. Dont f@ck with my clients, they work too hard to have useless people bringing them down. Put some hard work into your own situation and fix it.
