Hey, this is Leo, for Actualized.org.

And in this video, what I want to talk about is how to follow personal development advice. Nice. All right, welcome back. Let's talk about how to follow personal development advice.

Now, why is this even important? Why am I shooting a video on this topic?

Actually I started to shoot this video and the reason I got an idea for it is because I've shot a lot of video now.

There's a lot of video out there on my website and on my YouTube channel,

and people have been responding. I've been looking at the comments. And one of the things that I'm noticing is that

there's a little bit of a disconnect between my style of delivery

and the way that I want you to be receiving the information.

So here's what I mean by this and the whole general theme here is that I want you to be an

independent thinker, right?

You have to take everything that you hear, whether it's for me or from anybody else that's teaching you

anything in life, any kind of wisdom that you take or advice that you hear from other people,

there's a certain way that you need to go about implementing it and hearing it and

receiving it so that you're getting maximum results in your own life from that advice.

The fact of the matter is that there's a lot of people out in the world, especially nowadays,

that will be giving you advice, free advice, paid advice, whatever.

You know, your friends, your family, stuff you buy, books you read,

videos you watch on YouTube or anywhere else.

And the important thing here is to realize that no matter who you're listening to,

no matter how smart they are, how wise they are, how much of an expert they are in whatever

field they're teaching you, when they're giving you a piece of advice, that's something that they learned themselves, right?

And the best advice is usually a combination of stuff that you learn through learning and book smarts, as might call it you know theory and best practices
