Do not advise others what you do not or cannot do yourself.
Ever feel like we can't follow the advice we give to others? This invisible impossibility has happened many times because we believe ourselves to be able to give innumerable advice in any situation or task. But, it can sometimes lead to a loss of empathy and understanding in our lives.
We can inspire others when we see problems in their lives. Can make them smile when their heart is sad. We can help them see the difference with empathy and understanding. But, if it doesn't apply to our own lives, we can expose ourselves to uncharted territory in admonishing them.
Before inspiring and admonishing us, it is important to know our own condition. We should advise others only when we know ourselves. We need to be respectful and knowledgeable ourselves so that our advice can be valuable to others.
If we are to have a chance to feel respected and integrated with ourselves, we must develop compassion and understanding towards them. When we can open ourselves to understanding, learning will continue to occur and opportunities to help others will emerge
After learning, we will be able to apply the lessons for our own improvement. Self-criticism is an important process, which can help us improve and improve ourselves after giving advice to others.
