A Curious Thing

It is a curious thing, typically the first person to offer financial advice, usually unsolicited, is someone who has never had any real finances to speak of. Relationship advice, typically someone who has never been in a successful one is the first to step up. On a different level we all know the house painter, who does very nice work, but whose house always seems to be in need of paint. The obese/smoker doctor or the mechanic whose wife’s car is always in need of some kind of repair are almost cliché. One group is quick to comment on areas they have either no real experience or success in, the other, though quite knowledgeable and possibly accomplished have failed to practice what they know so well in their own lives.

Spiritually we must seek out those who have demonstrated that which we desire in our lives, the peace, serenity, respect, life success and ask them the questions on our heart, becoming willing to follow direction. To have a spiritual awakening we must be honest with ourselves about everything in our lives, open-minded to learn and experience new ways of thinking and be willing to change. For in truth we all reap as we have sown.
