Have you noticed how easy it is to give advice, but how difficult it can be to take it? We are good about listening to people, then commenting on their situation – sometimes they want our feedback and other times they wish we’d just keep our words to ourselves. Often, when we think about our willingness to “help” other people, we seem to shrink away fearing that we may not be as much help as we’d like, but have you ever thought that maybe we do have good ideas? In fact, the ideas that we have might be so good that we should be taking them ourselves! Rather than limiting our words of wisdom, we might actually be doing ourselves a favor by listening to what we are telling others. Think about it for just a minute, what was the best piece of advice have you given lately … now consider just how much better your life would be if you followed your own advice? I am not trying to condemn hypocrisy, I am encouraging wisdom. If our discoveries can help others, maybe they can be good for us
