Following your own advice

Have you ever given advice to a friend and later realized it was exactly what you needed to do? I had that experience yesterday. I was talking to a good friend who is extremely frustrated with the string of unfortunate events that have plagued her life in the last month. As we hashed out what was going on and found an action she could take, I found myself taking the same action that afternoon. And I felt great after I did it!!

I can't tell you why this happens, but I do know we all have valuable advice for friends and colleagues. So when you find yourself dispensing advice, see if it's a fit for your own life.
