Are You Listening To Your Own Advice?
by Bert Oliva
Recently I was having a conversation with someone and we were talking about how growing up, sometimes the person who brought us up always had some sort of lesson or tool that they wanted to share with us. Now that we’re older, sometimes that tool kicks in when someone near us is going through a tough time and we say, “You know what my mother used to say? You know what my cousin used to say? You know what my grandfather used to say? Etc.” And we share that piece of advice with the person.
My question to you is, do you tell yourself that advice? Do you share it with yourself when you are going through a tough time? When things are not going as planned? Do you actually take the time to reflect on the advice and knowledge you already have within yourself?
If you do, great. However, if you don’t, then start looking inside. Start paying attention. A lot of what you are looking for is already inside of you. You don’t have to keep searching. Start with that piece of advice. The one that you give to others. The one that was given to you when you were growing up. Start applying it and you will start seeing a change in your life.
Live Life,
