A person is either ready to act on the advice, in which case he doesn't need it; or he's not ready or capable of acting on the advice, in which case the advice is wasted. Take "Live like your dying." What does that mean? I think it means "Live like you know your time is limited." Believe it or not only a small percentage of humans know that at the gut level. And they don't need the advice, they're the ones who hit the ground running. The rest of us (I include myself) think we've got forever and dawdle much of our allotted time away. And couldn't act on the advice if offered because we really don't get it... again, not at the gut level. ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-18303526903835704782016-06-27T15:33:48.796-04:002016-06-27T15:33:48.796-04:00Thinking with your heart works about as well as de...Thinking with your heart works about as well as depending on your brain to pump your blood for you.The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354536924604187137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-14327695241921116672016-06-27T14:31:47.361-04:002016-06-27T14:31:47.361-04:00Think with your heart, not your head.Think with your heart, not your head.Methadrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828014989470539375noreply@blogger.com
