162 Consider the Source

My best friend always gives me advice.

On almost everything.

But when I consider the source, I discount almost everything he says.

My father has an opinion on everything.

But when I consider the source, I basically ignore it.

My lawyer sagely talks about what’s wrong with the country.

But when I consider the source…

On the other hand,

My

fitness expert says I exercise too much.

And when I consider the source, I immediately slow down.

Next time someone says anything to you …

Consider the source.
