The Best Advice From a Friend That Changed Everything

Powerful Messengers

The other day, driving in the golden hour light, I remembered something my best friend told me years ago: “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no.”

It was about a guy I was dating. That advice has echoed in my head ever since, shaping decisions on jobs, outfits, cities, and dinner plans. It became a quiet compass I didn’t know I needed.

This realization led me to understand that the best life advice doesn’t always come from books or podcasts. Often, it comes from friends, casual moments over wine, or while folding laundry. Somehow, it sticks.

Today, I’m wondering: What’s the best advice a friend ever gave you? Was it something big, like handling heartbreak or career changes? Or something small yet life-changing, like folding a fitted sheet or fixing your sleep schedule? I’d love to hear.

Drop it in the comments. I’ll read every one.
