Do As I Say, Not As I Do

I have always been a person who is in touch with my inner being. I believe in those "gut" feelings and ironic "signs" that seem to just make sense. Karma, in my opinion is not only real but can be good and bad. I don't think I am a psychic but I can feel "un-said" things. Sounds crazy, but have you ever just had a inner feeling about someone who needed help emotionally? It is a natural act for me to be there for people I feel need me. It flows effortlessly from my being. I have no problem sharing advice, being a listener, a shoulder to cry on, an encourager, a friend, or that ray of sunshine you need on a cloudy day. It may seem that I am speaking a little too highly of myself  but the reality is I don't look at it as "Oh I am a non-trained therapist, just call me Dr Philissa" (lol-inside joke)... I see it as more of a so called "gift"... yea i know, how cliche! However for some reason I can never seem to follow my own advice or better myself in certain aspects. I can so easily say to someone "dont give up" or "all you need is blah blah blah" when the truth is I need to be telling myself those things. The saying "its easier said than done" is annoyingly true! I feel so accomplished when I can cheer someone up and/or help them through a tough time, yet pathetic that I can't seem to make my own self better. Am I a hypocrite for the whole "do as I say, not as I do" aspect I seem to portray??? I am not sure, but the good news is -- if I cant fix my own life, at least I can help a friend or perhaps a stranger with theirs!
