Unsolicited, ill advised, life-saving. Who hasn’t received advice from every direction, from every person, and in every period of your life? If you believe life is a journey, then you, too, have probably heard well meaning voices whispering in your ear at every fork in the road.
Many times I recall my dad saying, “Do something, even if it’s wrong!” I believe he equated idle time with laziness. Watching cartoons on Saturday morning in your pajamas was not appreciated nor allowed. I can only imagine what he would think of today’s emphasis on meditation and mindfulness. So I guess that was bad advice. I will give him credit for lots of good advice too. The good outweighs the bad if I could just slow down long enough to appreciate his words!
Anyway, thank you, Dad, for suggesting I go play on railroad tracks. This advice inspired the title to my first book - Playing On Railroad Tracks.
