There is no single pattern by which life should be lived. Everyone's fate is different, but for some reason each person thinks that he knows how to live correctly. Here are a few reasons why you should skip outside advice.
Each destiny is unique
The life path of each person is made up of certain factors: family, environment, culture, even language - everything has its own influence. It is impossible to meet two people with an identical combination of all these characteristics. Therefore, both optimistic and pessimistic approaches to life are absolutely correct. Some people try to “burn through” life, looking for something new in every day and getting involved in all kinds of adventurous events in search of vivid emotions and memories, while others diligently analyze every step they take in order to minimize the risk of mistakes and live their lives calmly and comfortably. As you can see, both desires are quite logical, but only one lifestyle is more applicable for people with an optimistic disposition, and the other for pessimists.
Luck is everything
Yes, sometimes life is unfair, and we have to be content with what we have and not look for prospects for fundamental changes. Often, who you were born with, who your parents are, where you studied and other things beyond our control determine our destiny. No one knows why some are lucky in life, while others, despite all their efforts, cannot achieve what they desire most.
The lucky ones pretend to be the "smartest"
Have you noticed the demand for biographies-guides of millionaires or just successful people? But it often happens that their fate was determined not by their outstanding abilities, but by a chance meeting or one single profitable deal. For some reason, people who are lucky in life believe that they know and understand everything better than others, although in fact there is little truth in this belief.
Think freely
It would be much more correct to form your own principles / values / rules - call it what you want, the essence will not change from this. Of course, we draw inspiration and some unexpected truths from books, films and stories of other people, and we cannot get away from this. But you still need to understand that blind imitation of someone will not allow you to live your life properly. So even while adopting the experience and views of others, try to maintain your own individuality.
