Advice

I was just thinking about all the advice that mothers give their children. Brush you're teeth. Look both ways before crossing the street. Then I started thinking about the advice that is either not given or not heeded. An example of this sort of advice is if it is not yours do not mess with it or listening is equally important if not more important than talking. I am not going to comment on anything that is going on in the world because all I have is my opinion and that with a quarter cannot even get you a cup of coffee. I have not been nor will I be in the shoes of most people involved in what is going on in the world. So, what does my coaching from the couch really help? I know that people say to stand up for what you believe in but what does standing do if that there is no action behind it? I can say I am for this or that but if I am just say it, it really means nothing. There are so many people that just talk. And a lot of those people have the "power" to make a change for the better but instead they would rather talk about it. I am starting to climb up on a soap box that I neither have the energy or desire to be on. I guess in conclusion I am saying talking is great but action is greater and if you give advice be willing to act on it. Ciao!
