Following Advice

I give great advice. Usually spiritual, but often common sense advice. I try to take things from the perspective of the observer/listener. I ponder the best outcome then spew some pretty fantastic advice. It is a gift. I have done nothing to hone this. It is NOT a skill. Nothing I have practiced. So, if I know all of this about myself, why do I not follow my own advice? I don't even ask my own opinion on most things. I have gotten into some pretty tricky messes because I didn't.
Today I am going to begin asking my opinion and following my own advice. I will try it for 30 days and see how it goes. If it goes well, I will continue. If it doesn't, I will know immediately. I'm sure the people in my life will let me know if I am not giving myself good advice.
When in doubt, I will stop and ask for direction. Wish me luck!
