It seems that I am stuck in a position that I don't know weather I should follow my own instinct or follow someone else's advice on how to move forward with my life.If I follow my own advice someone disproves it and if I follow someone else's advice it turns out that the person I am getting advice from is a loser himself.I see these great leaders that follow their own gut instinct that leads them to success but maybe they had people that helped them along the way....Even if I follow my own instincts how do I know if they are right?
You must be quite young (1) to ask such a question and (2) not to know the answer. Life is a learning process. You have to move forward following your gut instincts, moderated by the advice of people you can trust, and as you get older you learn (by your errors, how else?) which gut instincts to follow, and which people to trust. The secret is to move forward.
Here's a wonderful quote from Buddhist Sutra
To realize your true nature, you must wait for the right
moment and the right conditions. When the time comes, you are
awakened as if from a dream. You understand that what you
have found is in your own and doesn't come from anywhere outside.

Find your own answers. But you must do the work in the search yourself. The solution and the path will come to you.
