Make for yourself a Rav, Avos 1:16

"This command to appoint yourself a teacher is not for the sake of learning but for deciding questions of halacha. You should establish an authority that you rely upon concerning what is permitted and prohibited and thus remove your doubts." Rambam, Pirkei Avos 1:16, translation from Eidensohn, Daas Torah, p. 44
