I totally agree with the prompt, that the majority of advice we receive just plain sucks. One of the worst I've ever heard people say to me is "Stay in school!" I feel like saying, "I will, thanks. Don't really have a choice..." But I have received life-changing advice before.
I don't have an exact quote for you, but the best advice I've ever received came from my dad and it basically went something like this "Follow the Lord with all your heart, all your life." Simple as that.
My dad has lived a lot of life. He's 50 years old, but he's seen and experienced a lot. He received Jesus when he was a teenager, but throughout his life has experienced living in the will of God as well as living outside of it. What his experience has taught him is that nothing apart from God is ever worth it. Life is so much better walking with the Father than doing anything apart from him.
I'm only 16 years old. But as short as I have lived, I've found nothing that invalidates this advice. Even in the littlest things, doing them with the Lord is infinitely better than doing anything without Him.
