Advice

Advice is a thought, a window if you will
A glass window to see how you are from a different person’s view.
No one has the same eyes as you,
No one will ever see the world like you do.
Another person’s advice is only their thoughts on the situation
It’s up to us rather to put it into our daily lives,
Use this advice as our motivation.
If the advice you are given is positive,
Listen, make use of the wise words that you have heard
If the advice you are given is negative,
Listen, make use of the wise words that we have learned
I could give you advice,
Perhaps the best advice known to man
But if man cannot seek the motivation to act
The advice is as good as sand
Sand crops windows,
Windows to see outside
Advice creates inspiration,
Inspiration is divine
Which one of us man will create that glass window to see past our own hands
Outstretched but still limited,
We must learn to drop our hands, along with our pride
Taking advice shows we are up for the challenge
To better our art,
Advice is a thought, a window if you will
Advice is meeting half way.
Another person’s advice is only their thoughts on the situation
It’s up to us rather to put it into our daily lives,
Use this advice as our motivation.
