…every piece of advice is a starting point, a proposition for you to say “Yes” or “No” to. And each piece is only useful in that it gets you to take action, while soothing negative emotion and minimizing risk.
You figure out your own way by constantly starting and adapting. Everything is a new starting point for you to try and keep, or to try and discard.
Other people’s rules or principles are good, but creating your own for yourself is better.
