If I need medical advice, I go to the doctor. If I need car repair, I go to a mechanic. If I have spiritual questions, I call my pastor. If I just need to talk to someone, I call a friend. My point is, when you need specific help, you contact a professional.
Some people think that they are professional, and they are not. They think that because of their age, or their experiences in life, they are experts in a field, any field for that matter. Television and the internet makes you think that you are smarter and wiser than you really are.
To be happy and at peace in life, you need to know who the real experts in life are, and your only burden is to reach out to them for their expert help. By doing this you can easily dismiss the shade tree experts who are quick to give advice, even if they do not know what they are talking about.
Just because it worked for you does not mean that your way is a universal solution to everyone around you. It means that you are a pseudo expert in what works for you.
When I go to church, I expect to hear an expert preach from a treasure of wisdom that he has filled in God so that he has something valuable to give to us. I look to see if he practices what he preaches.
