the way we share advice there is to speak about our personal experiences. What worked. What didn't work. Mistakes we make. Good decisions made. Fear. Thoughts, Frustrations. Feelings. By sharing personal experiences, we avoid direct advice but provide another point of view.
Part of that I agree with, but part I don't. I could share my experience, but I don't think most of it would work for people. My experience was just too different from most of these stories...I think it would lead people astray to actually try to emulate it. But there are aspects that I've learned through this process that I try to impart that are more generalized...like work on yourself, treat your spouse in a certain way when given the opportunity. It really comes down to a large amount of personal homework. Only you know what is working FOR YOU. The tendency is for everyone to suggest LRT from the get go, and what was that...2 pages of the book?
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
