Good Advice

Fools think they need no advice, but the wise listen to others.
Proverbs 12:15 NLT

If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject criticism, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.
Proverbs 15:31-32 NLT

Intelligent people are always open to new ideas. In fact, they look for them.
Proverbs 18:15 NLT

Though good advice lies deep within a person's heart, the wise will draw it out.
Proverbs 20:5 NLT


Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Seek the advice of trusted friends. Give it time to settle it. Don't always go to the most talkative. The greatest advice may require some prodding (Prov. 20:5). Bathe the entire decision-making process in prayer.
