All of these responses have excellent points, but the one I initially thought of when I saw this post several days ago is this: your own experience.
What I would do today is vastly different from what I would do 10 years ago. Not just because my skills have grown but because I've been exposed to many more situations. So now, when I see a forecast and a satellite image, I'm much better able to predict what I will face, because I've seen it (or something similar) before. And I'm in a better position to decide whether I can handle it or not. That wasn't the case ten years ago.
I would caution you, then, to be careful with the advice you get. What may be acceptable to one pilot may not be safe for your level of skill and experience.
