Advice?

So a friend suggested that I blog about how I am a therapist to many. I think this post will be very different than she intended but of course this request made me have a random thought.

So what was my randomness? Well it is true. I do give a lot of advice to others (some solicited, some not so much). But one thing that is always consistent is that it it DARN GOOD advice if I must say so myself. Not to toot my own horn....but.... Sometimes something will come out of my mouth and I am like "dang that was good, where did that come from". I also tend to sometimes write out advice. Kinda like a journal or letter. Some of my most profound thoughts have developed in this fashion.

The funny thing is I don't always keep my own advice. I've even had friends repeat back to me my own words. True Story. I am talking to a friend about a situation I am going through in life. Friend says "well a very wise person told me one time..."and then gives me sound bit of advice. I am like "that was really good, who told you that?" Friend smirks and says "you did". Oh yeah, I am smarter than I even know sometimes. :)

Really I think it is always easier to say what is the right thing to do but the actual doing part can be a little more tricky.

So from a good therapist but not always the best doer...... Blog On!
