There is no shortage of good advice out there. Search Google or ask AI a question about what you should do in any given situation, and you will get an answer almost immediately. But like any advice from the Internet or a real person in your life, it’s more than just listening that does the trick.

As this proverb says, you have to accept it. You have to act on it. You must follow the advice being given. That’s the real difference. We can listen, understand, and even believe the advice we’re hearing is accurate. The real change occurs when we take action. That’s where many of us stop the process of change, because taking the step from belief to action is hard. It feels risky and unpredictable. It doesn’t always just feel this way; it is that way.

Sometimes change is something that happens to us, but sometimes change is something we have to choose for ourselves. So, where do we need to choose change? Where do we need to decide to act, rather than believe things should be different? What might be keeping us from making that change? What is the advice we don’t just need to listen to but accept?
