It’s easy to talk, even to give advice to others. The hard thing is doing what we preach, and to be consistent in our practice.
Part of the challenge is that things don’t change in isolation, and it’s difficult to accurately judge what we will do in a situation we haven’t been in.
So the hard work is working on ourselves. To practice, fail, and practice again. For while we’re imperfect beings, we can be less so every day.
