Not All Advice is Aligned: Protect Your Energy and Stay True to Your Path
Some people are out here giving advice to confuse you, take you off your path, and keep you from the connections and guidance meant for you. Not everyone advising you has your best interest at heart.
They may look like they have it all together, but deep down, they’re miserable – trapped in lives, relationships, or situations that don’t align with what they truly want.
They’re bitter, resentful, or projecting their unhappiness onto you. And the advice they give reflects that. It’s not about helping you; it’s about keeping you from achieving something they can’t or won’t allow themselves to have.
Beware of taking advice from people who don’t want to see you happy or thriving. Their words might be disguised as wisdom, but their energy doesn’t lie.
Pay attention to how you feel when you listen to them.
Not everyone who speaks into your life is aligned with divine truth or love. Some are operating from envy, fear, or control. They’re not on your side, and they don’t want to see you step into the gifts and blessings God has for you.
Trust the guidance you receive from divine connection. Be discerning about whose advice you take and whose opinions you value. Protect your energy and your path.
Remember: People can only lead you as far as they’ve gone themselves. If they’re bitter, unhealed, or disconnected from truth, their advice will reflect that. Choose wisely.
Surround yourself with people who genuinely celebrate your growth and joy. The right guidance will always feel clear, grounded, and uplifting, even when it challenges you.
Don’t let anyone steer you away from what God has for you. Stay anchored in divine truth, and keep moving toward the life you’re meant to live.
Practical Tips for Discernment
Notice how you feel when you receive advice: Does it inspire or drain you?
Reflect on the advisor’s intentions: Are they encouraging you or projecting their fears?
Seek alignment with your core values and intuition.
Pray and lean into the Wisdom and Mentorship from the Holy Spirit to seek clarity before taking big steps based on someone else’s input.
Biblical Wisdom for Discernment
1 John 4:1
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”
Context:
Not everything we hear is coming from a place of truth or love. Take the time to check – pray, reflect, and trust your intuition – to make sure the advice aligns with God’s guidance.
Matthew 7:16
“By their fruit, you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?”
Context:
Pay attention to the results people get in their own lives – their ‘fruit.’ If someone’s life feels messy, bitter, or out of alignment, their advice will reflect that. You can’t expect clarity or wisdom from someone who isn’t living it.
Reflection Question
Who are the voices in your life right now, and are they aligned with where you want to go?
At the end of the day, our path is sacred, and not everyone is meant to walk it with us or guide us on it. Take the time to pause, pray, and listen to your inner wisdom. God’s guidance will never lead you astray, and the right people will uplift and encourage you. Stay grounded in truth, protect your energy, and keep moving toward the life you’re meant to live.
