Hypocritical advice?

Life comes with many unanswered questions, so today I ask you this- WHY is it so easy to give advice to others and not take it for yourself?? Why Why Why?? This may be the counseling major in me, but I find it so incredibly easy to help others and give them advice, and yet when it comes to myself, I rarely, if ever, take the advice that I give others, even when it could totally benefit me too. Hypocritical? I guess that’s what you could call it. I do it with the best intentions though. So who the heck knows…just some food for thought.
