As a writer of life advice, I don’t see it as my job to develop completely novel ideas. By this point, all the best ideas have been taken, and anything original would most likely be wrong.
Instead, I aim to repeat the best ideas I’ve heard and those that have worked for me. Because I process the ideas through my brain and put them into words, they will come out with my unique twist. I hope that by repeating these good ideas, I’m doing the vital work of keeping them prominent in our society. Good advice is only helpful if you remember it. We need to hear it a few times and from a few perspectives for it to stick.
