Easier Said Than Done

Every now and then, every so often, I'm approached by they needing advice regarding their poor situation. I offer them what I know to be a most helpful suggestion. The response I usually receive is, "That's easier said than done," and this generally fills me with major frustration. For me, "That's easier said than done," has the following translation; "That's easier said than done, so I won't even bother to try." No positive changes ever happen and they can't figure out why. "That's easier said than done," is a defeatist attitude. "That's easier said than done," is what's destroying you. It's a destructive cliche that affects everyone. I wish it would disappear, but that's easier said than done.
