Everybody Is the Expert

Everyone knows what you should do Shouting out suggestions Giving you their best advice Usually unsolicited None of them have walked an inch in your shoes Not even a half inch But they are all experts They dump their suggestions into your ear They text you their new suggestions. They email you suggestions they have gleaned from their friends. Stay out of their way. Let them do it. They must be getting something out of it. All you have to do is what you want to do. They are not the boss of you.

So true… that's it's all just unsolicited noise from folks who either don't care about you and/or have a dark agenda. Sound advice, Caren! :) gw

I hear people's advice and I laugh, knowing if they could have done it or if they wanted to do it, they already would have.

saint everyone in own meditation; sage everyone in own wisdom; wise everyone in own thinking; no need to go to and fro; come to the self, contemplate, find out the worthy treasure!

Meditation saves us from mediation.
