People Online Shared Advice That Changed Their Lives
Have you ever received a random tip that changed your life or made it better? We don't always get wise words, but it's very much appreciated when we do.
A group of people online shared life advice that helped them for the better. Take a look at what they had to say and find some gems.
Be Cautious With Your Money
![lending money tip lending money tip can go far](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/lending-money-tip-49594.jpg?width=700&height=341)
When lending out money to family members, you have to remember that they are your family.
They won't forget that and will use it as a tool to not pay you back.
Shhh... It's A Secret
![showing up is your best showing up is your best and that's fine](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/showing-up-is-your-best-47807.jpg?width=700&height=372)
Whenever you start comparing, that's when you lose. Comparisons only work when you're trying to elevate higher, not when you're critical of yourself.
This advice is perfect for anyone thinking they aren't good enough.
Never Forget This
![slow down ramping up slow down ramping up the situation](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/slow-down-ramping-up-87525.jpg?width=700&height=311)
As simple as this advice sounds, it's very important to remember. Escalating a situation is easy.
Trying to tame the fire is the rough part, so always think before triggering something.
Shine In Your Twenties
![live out your twenties in life live out your twenties in life for the better](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/live-out-your-twenties-in-life-34054.jpg?width=700&height=372)
Imagine if everyone thought like this. Perhaps people would have less stress and anxiety building up.
Even if you graduate college at 22, you still have eight years to be yourself.
Don't Waste Time
![cook right away cook right away when you get home](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/cook-right-away-40607.jpg?width=700&height=372)
This tip sounds perfect for those who struggle with food decisions after work. It can be tricky.
Listening to her means once you finish cooking, you can completely unwind for the night.
Good Food Never Fails
![feed them before working feed them before working and it works](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/feed-them-before-working-53753.jpg?width=700&height=341)
Maybe this is why the classic first date is a dinner somewhere nice. The same rules apply when dating.
Feeding people good food before the heavy lifting is a great way to operate.
It's Not Your Fault
![not your fault for mental health not your fault for mental health issues](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/not-your-fault-for-mental-health-23621.jpg?width=800&height=320)
It's not your fault you had a traumatic past, but it is up to you to try and heal from it.
It will be challenging, but what's worse — the pain getting through it or it lingering forever?
Kids Grow Up One Day
![as adults thinking as adults thinking it would be fine](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/as-adults-thinking-72944.jpg?width=700&height=372)
I hope no one reading this has marital issues right now, but let this help you.
Thinking about the kid's future is a nice way to figure out how to handle things.
It Makes Sense
![no cats says mom if he doesn't like cats](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/no-cats-says-mom-63234.jpg?width=700&height=372)
Hey, it might sound silly, but it makes sense when you think about it. Cats can get wild.
Their independence is what separates them from dogs, so see if your man likes cats.
Oh, You Can't Decide?
![no decision works no decision works just fine](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/no-decision-works-69346.jpg?width=800&height=320)
If you don't want to make a decision, that's your decision. Please don't fret about it too long.
It's not the end of the world because you can't decide what to do.
Be Smarter
![wait until you get home before posting wait until you get home before posting your vacay](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/wait-until-you-get-home-before-posting-18848.jpg?width=700&height=341)
If you post your vacation photos on social media while you're still away, you might come home to a problem.
People who know where you live might break into your home.
Cater To The Crying
![crying baby fix crying baby fix happening](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/crying-baby-fix-17952.jpg?width=700&height=402)
This almost sounds like a temporary hold on your issues, but not if the baby stops crying.
If they do, you're a genius and your day just got a lot brighter.
Don't Judge Yourself So Hard
![believe in yourself believe in yourself for the win](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/believe-in-yourself-96947.jpg?width=700&height=402)
You have the right to be hard on yourself if you are the only person you want to impress.
If the judgment lies in the hands of others, let it go and see what happens.
You Are Not A Professor
![not like you no everyone will like you](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/not-like-you-59502.jpg?width=700&height=311)
Sure, if you like teaching people new things that they don't know about, that's different.
You shouldn't feel like you have to teach and that's the point with this one.
What Will You Die For?
![hill you'll die on truth hill you'll die on](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/hill-youll-die-on-truth-75636.jpg?width=700&height=402)
Remembering what you would die for is a great way to boost your energy and perspective.
Not everything in this world is for you, but that's okay. Focus on you.
Who Cares What They Think?
![none of your business thoughts none of your business thoughts matter](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/none-of-your-business-thoughts-45513.jpg?width=700&height=341)
Not caring about what people think is easier said than done. You might value their opinions, but that's not going to help you all the time.
Focusing on yourself and moving with purpose is the best route.
You're Almost There
![sucking at something sucking at something is the first step](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/sucking-at-something-70383.jpg?width=607&height=540)
If you sucked at something in January, you won't suck in December if you keep at it.
That's just the law of the universe. It would be almost impossible to still be mediocre at something if you keep practicing.
It's Okay To Ghost Family
![breaks from family breaks from family are important](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/breaks-from-family-10761.jpg?width=613&height=392)
It might sound harsh, but would you rather have anxiety or peace of mind? Tell your family members you need a little break.
They'll understand in most cases, so don't worry.
Send Good Energy
![don't worry about it don't worry about it if you're stressed](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/dont-worry-about-it-26852.jpg?width=700&height=402)
Her sister told her the right thing. If she had to think about contacting this man, it probably isn't worth it.
The best thing you can do is send good energy.
Know Who Is Who
![some people are some people are winners and others want the truth](https://www.moneypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/some-people-are-71553.jpg?width=700&height=463)
Now, this isn't a cookie-cutter way of viewing people, but it helps categorize them when in doubt.
Some people only want the truth and others need to win. It's easy to distinguish between the two once you start paying attention.
