Someone has rightly said that the best way to succeed in life is to act on the advice we give to others and the best advice is this Don t take advice and don t give advice Giving advice is quite fun and pretty easy isn t it But do we follow the advice that we so easily throw at others and expect them to follow it too Here are a few stupid advices that we give but never follow If you find any of your friends or relatives depressed or worried the first advice that you may give them will be don t think too much what will be will be But in reality if you are facing any problems you will never let it go and you may think about it round the clock The most heard health advice nowadays is to avoid junk foods Over weight infertility diseases or even pimples No matter whatever it is the first advice that we may give is to avoid junk foods But do you ever follow this When you see your best friend in a toxic relationship your gut instinct is to tell him or her to run far far away and never look back But you don t follow this advice when you are in a sticky relationship AT that time you just can t find it in your heart to leave and that s when you start making stupid excuses Haven t we all advised that one friend of ours to stop being a Peeping Tom when it comes to hisher spouse That s logical reasoning right Well no Every person out there cannot resist when her partner s email is left open on the laptop or when the cellphone is unlocked Well we are all curious human beings We tell each other we are going to go on diets together fill the house with healthy food and then go for frozen yogurt 15 minutes later We tell one another not to eat any of the cookies hidden in the kitchen but when no one is looking we hide in the darkness of our locked bedrooms and finish the box Do you keep telling people that they should not worry if their family or friends does not approve of something Its human nature to want to be liked and to seek approvalit can t really be helped When a friend is overly depressed about a lost opportunity we don t take a minute before advising that life isn t supposed to be fair On the other hand it s becomes really unfair when you get rejected from your dream internship How could this happen to you Bad things shouldn t happen to awesome people You may advice others who are searching for a job that it is not so difficult to find a job But in reality getting a job is much more difficult than giving an advice If you are in the situation you will never sit back relaxing and waiting for a job to come in search of you While traveling we always advice how rolling clothes can save space and time but we never follow the advice ourselves But we like folding everything neatly and putting it in compression bags instead It is one advice youve heard since you were a kid strangers are equivalent to danger so dont talk to them However if you heed this warning on the road be prepared to miss out on new friends secret recommendations from locals and the authentic experience of a new place If you want to get healthier you need to push yourself said a friend who never got out of bed on time and can t even spell exercise The key is to find an activity you love that feels good and makes you happy and do it consistently The gain doesn t require pain but it does require dedication

This is not mine just composed to share with beloved readers Good wishes to all There is a lake in the world Water constantly trickles INTO it but do not flow OUT of it because it is actually below sea level That lake is called Dead Sea It39s called so because the salts and deposits have accumulated to such an extent that no living thing could survive in this water The water is literally dead Contrast to this is living water a river or bubbling spring that is FLOWING It39s filled with life and movement It doesn39t just receive but also gives simultaneously There is LIFE thereThere39s a valuable illustration here Many of us believe that we need to RECEIVE more of something in order to be happy Whether what we desire is money or love or something else we think that we need MORE of it in order to be fulfilled As a result of this we begin to operate in fear and therefore don39t GIVE anything because we39re afraid that we won39t have enough The result Like the Dead Sea we become lifeless When we don39t GIVE we dieLife is meant to flow When a pool of anything stops flowing giving it becomes stagnant Stagnant water breeds disease and death It can39t breathe It can39t receive any more If nothing is flowing OUT there39s no room for anything else to come IN We39ve somehow been deceived into believing that if we DON39T give we39ll have MORE Or we39re afraid that if we DO give that we won39t have anything left On one hand this seems to make sense But it doesn39t work Because when we don39t give we shut off the flow of what39s coming inThe solution Give As you give you shall receive It39s a universal law You see it at work in nature You see it at work in the economy You see it at work everywhere because it39s true If you truly desire to receive more of something start giving it away If you want someone to be kind to you be kind to them If you want love in your life love someoneIf you want money give some money away If you want joy in your life give joy to someone else The Existence responds when we act Too often we39re waiting for something to come to us first Stop waiting and start giving Give and you shall receive It is on the consciousness level of the heart that we begin to understand that we are not separated from life that we are not small separate islands in a great ocean but parts of the Whole that life is all about sharing rather than hoarding We begin to understand that life is about giving rather than taking
