So I have been wondering…

Is it true that the doctor can never heal himself?

I mean, we all know that it is SO much easier to give wonderful advise to others than it is to listen and follow those brilliant words yourself. But it is possible isn’t it? After all, the advise and words we give to others are usually based off of experiences we have had ourselves in the past, and what you think you would do if the same situation occurred in the future because of what has happened in the past. That is how we have foundation and justification to give advise to others to begin with. If you had no way to relate to the situation, what right to you have to be giving advise in the first place? So I wonder than, where the missed connection lies in being able to take your own advise. You know your words are valid, they come from the right place, and you truely believe that they can be of some help to whomever you give them to. You can relate to that person on some level, giving you the ability to come up with valid suggestions or help, but maybe that’s it. Maybe you cant bring yourself to the same level as that person, therefore your words are not valid for your situation. When it comes to your life, its always “not quite the same” isn’t it? You get so hung up on nit picky details so that you can be separated from everyone else. Your situation is different, so no one can help you. Ohhh woe is me!
DAMN YOU VICTIM IN THE 12th HOUSE!!!!
I suppose that’s why I have difficulty taking the advise of others as well.
Ok Lara, here is your challenge for the …. well, however long it takes you to fix yourself doctor.
When you give advise to others, apply it to yourself and use it. Just for shits and giggles, and lets see what happens ok? Perhaps you can try relating to others more. You are just as human as anyone else. Minor technicalities make you no better or worse than anyone else. Time to get off your high horse and join the human race.
PS: Eek! That was crazy, did that all just come out of me? …. dude
