Only ask for advice from people who are qualified to help you. When you act on good advice you know you are doing right things and staying motivated will be easy.

Whereas when someone with no relevant knowledge or no sense of possibility advises you it makes sense to be unmotivated.

Why take action on bad advice? Why even try if that person cannot see things working out?

Avoid this negative world view by carefully deciding who to get advice from.
