NO'Vice...Naureen's Advice

NO'Vice.....People keep asking me what it means.

Well, my friend Mallory started referring to my advice as this because yeah apparently, my advice is pretty damn good and on-point. I mean it should be, seeing that I have my Bachelor's in Psychology with a special interest in Behavioral Psychology!!

I have the ability to read a person by just observing their behavior. Although that may be judgmental to some, seeing that I don't really try getting to know them personally, I just kinda watch how they interact with others and evaluate their behavior.

SO many people ask me for advice for all sorts of things, so I can just get down to it. Whenever someone asks for my help, I'll post the topic on here and describe how I see the situation. Who knows, I might be able to help someone without them even having to talk to me! :) Here goes it....

Q: Anonymous- "I'm a single mother and have been at a job that I hate for 4 years. I don't know what to do because I have no more room for advancement and I'm just bored. I get paid really good but I'm at work from 8am to 6pm. My daughter is only 5 and I have to keep her with her grandmother so I can go to work and make money to support our family. We have a beautiful house, and I drive a brand new Lexus, thanks to my really boring but financial fulfilling job. I want to quit and find something else that might be closer to home, less hours but good pay because my little girls starting school soon and they grow so fast that I just don't want to miss her life. Plus, I miss having a man in my life. I wasn't half as stressed out as I am now. What do you suggest I do?"

A: Well, first off, financial stability is not the only factor that determines your life. Children grow so fast, I agree, and you are her only parent. Which is why it's SO important to spend as much time with her as possible. She's at the age where she needs her parent(s). I'd suggest you ask your job for less hours or start looking for a job closer to home and with less hours. You have saved money from the job you're working at now, so you have security for the time being. But being with your family is more important than anything. I've learned that when everyone else turns their back on you, your family is all you really have. As for the man thing, when God believes your time has come to be truly in love, that love will come find you. You just stay put, and do what you need to do to live comfortably. Hope that helped! All the best!


*People, don't hesitate to ask advice from someone you don't know. Its actually better that way, in my opinion. At least you know that person is non-bias. Cheerio!
