Someone once told me, "never take advice from someone whose outcomes in life you don't like." I always thought this was brilliant advice, and almost always follow it.
The one exception: sometimes a person can be good at instructing on something they are not actually successful at in real life. But I find this to be the exception, not the rule. I guess if something really resonates with you, the source is not necessarily important...
The main thing I've learned is that while it is good to remain humble and teachable, sometimes I have to trust my own opinion and wisdom over anyone else's--even if it differs from the wisest advise of my best advisor. Sometimes I alone know the best answer for me :)
