Those who have not grown into the places you are growing may only drown you with their well-intended good advice.
This is not a game of better than worse than comparison, but rather, a reckoning with the truth of where you are now, of the places you've already been, and where you have yet to go.
In which case, your life preserver lies up ahead in the uncharted waters of your own soul.
Cast your net there. Not behind you in the over-crowded sea of already-discovered good advice.
