When we give advice to other people, if we want them to truly believe us, it has to come from a place deep within us. This is where all of our past experiences, including our hurt and our pain, has been stored. When we give advice, what we are often really saying is that something bad has happened to us in the past, and if it happens again we want to know how to handle it as best as we can. We want others to as well.

Very true.
I find that unless advice is sincerely and specifically asked for, any advice we give is unlikely to be acted upon, however sincerely well-intentioned it may be.

It’s true. People usually just do what they want to do anyway.

It would be good if people could learn from the mistakes of others!
I have a hard enough time learning from my own… and i never take my own advice!! 🙂

Yeah, funny how it’s so much easier to give advice than to take it.

I only give advice from past experiences, yes they can be painful at times, but in my eyes it’s worth it if it helps someone 😊👍

When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable with others, it will go a long way.

The idea of advice from painful experiences is intriguing. Reviews on life from a growing perspective.

Yes, what I really mean is that a lot of people who give advice are actually giving that advice to themselves in a round about way. I’ve done it myself.
