Why The Advice You Follow Doesn't Work - Or Stops Working Very Quickly

Written by a human, for humans, always.


Have you noticed...

Everywhere...

All the time...

You have the ability to access the advice that you need...

Except...

Is it actually working?

You can look up articles on how to reach your goals...

You can watch videos on how to improve your diet...

You can listen to podcasts to reach enlightenment...

But...

If we are going to be honest...

The goals still feel out of reach...

The diet is not changing your health significantly...

And your newfound "enlightenment" still leaves you feeling afraid, anxious, and worried...

Not to mention that for any gains that you obtain...

Within a matter of months...

They disappear...

Assuming any were discovered at all.

Have you ever wondered why the advice you follow doesn't work?

The answer is...

Few people have real answers.

There are a large number of people who make their money...

Purely on the illusion of appearing as if they have the answers...

Teaching others to obtain what they have...

While knowing they are deeply lacking themselves.

If you pay attention...

You can often begin to see chains...

Lines of people...

Who were taught something...

That was taught to them by another person...

Repeating what was taught to them...

All taught by someone...

That lacked what they were teaching.

The illusion persists...

People repeat the advice again and again...

We hear it so frequently that we fall into repetition bias, otherwise known as the illusory truth effect...

We build a persona around following that advice with the promise that it will provide what we seek...

And if it has some success, we credit it to what we did...

Even when the reasons we actually succeeded had absolutely nothing to do with what we thought...

Then when things begin not working...

Because what we did had nothing to do with what actually created the success...

But we have built a persona around everything...

And we have heard that is the way to obtain what we have desired for so long...

That we have become gaslit into believing that we must be the problem...

So we continue to maintain the illusion and repeat the advice that does not work...

And become trapped in a prison of our own design.

This is why the advice you follow doesn't work.

It never worked.

You have simply bought into a lie that was repeated over and over again...

But that has never worked...

For anyone.

Here is an interesting thing to pay attention to...

When people deeply follow whatever advice...

What percentage of people fail?

Many people ask about whether something works...

But never investigate how often something fails.

For every "this advice made me a millionaire"...

That same advice bankrupted and destroyed the lives of thousands...

Hundreds of thousands...

Even millions.

If something only works 0.001% of the time or less...

It does not really work.

Often, the excuse you will hear is that those who failed simply "did not do it right"...

But do you think that thousands or millions of people would "all" fail at doing that thing right?

Are people actually "that" bad at following advice?

Some individuals are, of course...

But there is a tipping point where we have to realize that the number of failures has to be blamed more on the methods than on the individuals.

If you actually look into the failures...

You will discover just how little advice that can be obtained in the world is valuable.

Very few paths work...

But the ones you are most likely to hear about are the ones that will fail you the fastest.

Be wary of the advice you follow.
