People are so very funny. We can give each other advice, but refuse to acknowledge that we do not ourselves follow what we give out. Chris, my friend, gave me very good advice the other day. He called himself a hypocrite later because he gave me advice that came from his heart, yet does not do it himself. He, now, tries to follow his own advice because he noticed how great it worked out for me. I guess we do this because we are afraid of the outcomes. It is easier to tell other people what to do then it is to tell ourself what to do and how to act. I noticed today that I was giving advice that sounded really well-together and well drawn out, but one problem. I have never done anything like that before and did not have any intentions to. The person who I had spoken with earlier was so happy and sounded like she was about to bounce from wall to wall. I was flabberghasted to know that my advice seemed to work.. I do not know how, but it did. I guess if we all trusted ourselves once in a while then maybe we could make our lives better and who knows maybe it could lead to a bigger and better world. Trusting ourselves is the first step to changing our life. Chris is always happier then usual and even I feel better than I have been.

Ahh, you make such a great point. I have noticed before how when people give advice to others, it works out great for them, but the person that told them does not follow the advice. I've done it a few times myself. It's pretty funny, but we all should have more confidence in ourselves. It'd probably work out a lot better for the vast majority.
I ask for advice, but follow my own advice....it's hard listening to ourselves in the end though.
You know what the worst is though?
When someone asks you your advice, and you know that if you don't tell them exactly what they want to hear, they will get mad at you.
So even though you have advice deep down in your heart that you want to share with them, you just can't because they won't listen to it.
