@ Trey: I can only speak for myself. Any advice I give here, I try to follow myself. And by writing about it in a blog post, what I find helpful, can motivate not only the readers to follow through, but me as well.

We all probably feel that deep down, a lot of bloggers are hypocrites. It seems like bloggers have a nice, tidy, convenient answer for everything, and that does get old after a while. I say that if you preach something, then practice it!

@ The Lawyer Mom: You would only be hurting yourself if you had good strategies and wisdom to share but didn’t strive to fulfill them.

Blogging can help us in this way.

Yep, don’t write the talk if you balk at the walk.

@ Patti: Thank you.

@ Nate: Now that I wrote this post, I’m going to be more mindful of the words I say when they’re not being said

Good to see you Nate. Thanks for dropping by.

BF, I’m always conscious when I write if it’s merely an idea I have, or something I have implemented myself.

For instance, I can never give studying tips, as I rarely studied in school. It’s not how I excelled.

I err of course – I’m human – but I try to live to my word every day. The best way for me to do this is to always keep my children in the back of my mind. I ask what I would do if I knew they were watching with full understanding. This helps me stay in line 95% of the time.

@ Vered: Glad to learn you don’t read women’s magazines. I feel so relieved now.

@ Marelisa: Thanks. I agree… was totally worth it. And, often, our own advice is pretty darn good and helpful, we need only follow through.

@ Matt: Good point about being honest about what we see in ourselves. I suppose good writing, is in part, the act of looking within. And true… when we write about something, we create a mental reference for how to live.

@ Laurie: Saying things is surely easier than doing them. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by.

Many things are easier said than done. I try to do as I say, but I’m a slow learner…

Thanks for the post; I enjoyed reading it.
