Trust your circle, but trust yourself more

Everyone has their own ‘circle’.

Family, close friends, mentors — all of you get in that circle.

Having them there to discuss career moves, ideas, hobbies and even relationship advice, is great.

To me it is what they are there for.

But after hearing them out, regardless of how many points you agree with or points you don’t, I say to always go back to what you feel.

Everyone always says “go with your gut” when making a decision but I think it’s within good reason.

It’s super easy to get influenced by even a single conversation or text message from someone you trust.

It’s happened to me many times.

“Well damn it, I really wanted to do that but Circle Member X raises a good point and now I don’t think this is such a good idea.”

Getting there perspective on a decision is the whole purpose as they will see it differently than you do.

But at the end of the day, back yourself.

Trust them, but trust yourself more.
