I was thinking that if I never gave advice, I would never regret it. You are right! Can't say enough about listening. Hey Rory… I was thinking that if I never gave advice, I would never regret it.

And then listening some more. The fine art of using questions to draw out what the person we are speaking to is really saying. And like you say, sometimes that is all that is needed. We have a need to feel listened to, to feel heard. I mean, just how wonderful is our wonderful advice anyway? “Listen before you speak,” is such good advice. And then listening some more.

That's why no matter how busy I am with my deadlines at the creative agency, I always return for my fix. :) So what do you do when you realized that you "comtinue to do what you want, and not what you should"?

So what do you do when you realized that you “comtinue to do what you want, and not what you should”?

Dave you always seem to write this kinda posts just when i need exactly that :)

“Plan before you act” – a lot of people tend to change the order, i’m a little like that sometimes (always room for improvement hehe), i so want to buy that new thing, i buy it, and then oopps should’ve planned that, so where’s all my money gone now? :???:

before you can “have”, you gotta “do”, and even before that you gotta “be”, usually people tend to invert that and start with the “have”, then try to “do” something, but realize that “being” is the first step.

well i was born in 82, but i did saw a horse before a cart.. umm.. once, i think :)

Can we change that? A book I read recently said, unless the conscious mind can command our subconscious and unconscious mind, we will continue to do what we want, and not what we should. Do I have the desire to change? Do I want the incentives I'll receive if I made the change vs the sacrifices I've to make? These are the challenges I'm facing ... ...
