Do as I Say, Not as I Do?
As the saying goes, “Practice what you preach.” It’s challenging to advise someone to do something you’re not actively practicing yourself. Sometimes, it might stem from a “don’t make the same mistakes I did” perspective, but that requires self-awareness.
And as we’re well aware, self-awareness can be in short supply. To be truly self-aware, one must engage in introspection, which can be daunting. Accepting that you might have been wrong about something you’ve believed for a long time is no easy feat.
