Day 290. The sour piece of cake

   Today I remembered how tricky some things can be. It's that moment when you think: "Ah, this is gonna be a piece of cake" and that's exactly when you're mistaken. Be it an exam, homework, a house chore or improvising a mosquito net. 

   It took us the whole day. A lot of sweat and frustration. Doing and undoing what we did. But in the end I learned my lesson: "Be patient and take things one by one. Don't rush or plan ahead. Life is yet to happen so just focus on the here and now."

Day 242. The help

   We give pieces of advice every day, some because we're asked for and some because we want to prevent something bad from happening. 

   I get it, we care about our close ones and we want them to be happy, but many times we give advice generalizing our experience into an absolute truth. So we tell people what to do, forgetting to take into consideration that they are not us and they have free will. I mean, giving pieces of advice is OK, but we shouldn't expect people to closely follow our ideas. Also, we should prepare that our advice might not always be the best. 

   Giving an advice is tricky. You never know if it will help or actually do harm so it's better to let people take decisions alone, because the answer always lays inside of us. We're just too afraid to admit its presence and follow it. 

   So let's rather follow our inner intuition and be more cautious when asking for and giving a piece of advice.
