Do you Take Your Own Advice?

Taking your own advice Most of us are famous when it comes to dishing out advice to people. The amusing thing is that we even give advise when we are not asked for it. We know the solutions to everybody’s problem. Everybody but ourselves.  Yes!  I said it  a totally unrelated picture of a billionaire AND a glass of iced coke 😎😎😎 You see, we have the time to analyse and dissect issues about other people but we’re unable to do the same when it comes to issues that concern us.  Being advisors and contributors to other people's issues seem easier than facing ours. I think even renowned counsellors face the same challenges.  Why do you think that is?  Well, I'm going to share my thoughts on the matter and I'd leave the floor open for your contributions and suggestions.  Deal?  Okay 🤝 For as long as I can remember, people always come to me seeking for one form of advice or the other, not minding w...

Did I even jot them down? Is this a joke?

"Write".  Inspired by that message, I picked up my phone (I don't have a fancy notepad for now *lol*) ...... Just incase you're getting all inspired by this line, I hate to break it to you that I dropped my phone a couple of times too.  Y...
