Sometimes we don't take advice, good advice, at the time when it's given. It could be for any number of reasons, skeptical of what was said or it's outcome, we forget to act, doesn't think it applies to us, etc., could be any number of things. If there is one piece I would suggest; it would be to read. Yes a physical book in your hands and on anything. Make it entertainment at first, then move onto something that will help you in your field but just get into the habit and before you know it you'll be reading two or more at a time. It just helps keep us grounded while in a growth mindset. Not only that it will also keep you sharpe as a barber's straight razor. Our minds need exercise just like our bodies do.
