I got lost in the soundtrack of my mind...

6 months. I'm sorry....ahem...lets just move on. ;)

Something has been swirling around in this head of mine for a few days now, I wanted to get other people to chime in on the topic. That topic being, advice.

Now I'm not talking about advice on love or your job, but advice on the options we are presented in our everyday life. Right now I'm faced with advice from people in regards to what doctor I should see for my neck, what movie to go to, what restaurant to eat at, where I should get my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses from, and other wedding odds and ends. All of this advice is based on the persons experience, or someone they knows personal experience with whatever it is. Be it a doctor, bridal shop experience, movie, or restaurant. Do you take what they are telling you and make your decision based on that? I've been told a movie is terrible, and still go to see that movie. Sometimes it's terrible, other times I am pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. One person could have a not so great experience at a bridal shop, and who knows, I could have a great experience. Maybe the person assisting them that day had some personal things going on in their life that didn't allow them to be on their A game.

All I'm saying is, me personally...9 times out of 10 I'm going to go off of my own gut feeling and make the decision I feel I should. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate advice from people, I'm grateful for any advice, I just think at the end of the day you have to make your own decisions because that "gut feeling" is there for a reason.

What do you do?

O my gosh I know! I love advice and I am honestly easily swayed by certain people's opinions...but it's also good to make your own decisions and take responsibility for them. I think the worst of people's advice comes when you are planning a wedding...most definitely! :)
