Trust yourself and your inner nature, for you are the only true master of yourself, not others. Do not follow others blindly, take what they say, perhaps look around at a few other openions or ideas. Then go within and see what your own true inner nature says. Go with it till you feel a need, if any, to change.

You will proceed at a pace you find comfortable. Do not let nor allow others to force you to go at a pace you find uncomfortable. Your inner sense is the best indicator and guide you can have. Do not look to another for this need.

You can reach within and find the only guide you'll ever need. Your own inner true self. You can be totally self reliant, and not needing any others to guide you or dispence information.

So it is best to not follow others blindly, follow your own inner sense and guide, for that is the only one you trully need.
