I'm NOT Dr. Phil?

I have been told that I look like a couple of different celebrities but Dr. Phil is not one of them. However, a few weeks ago, I was told that I sound like him. It's not the southern accent, but how he deals with some of the people on his show. Some of my family members watch The Dr. Phil Show on a fairly regular basis. I don't have the background that Dr. Phil does but I have coached several people to a better place in their life. I have also been able to learn from other people's challenges and transfer that information to my knowledge to help others. I don't expect to have the massive success the way that Dr. Phil has had but I do have a very similar desire and passion to help others. I find it interesting how some of my family members take in the information and advice that Dr. Phil gives. How they look at him as a place to help them resolve issues in their own lives. Now, I'm not disagreeing with them about the knowledge that Dr. Phil has. I think that Dr. Phil is very knowledgeable and I too appreciate how he handles many of his guests. Him and I share many of the same concepts and beliefs as to how to get results in moving from one place in our life to where we would like to be. What I find interesting is that they will listen to Dr. Phil but I can say the very same thing and I seem to get ignored. It can be a bit frustrating for me, but I think that I have figured out why this happens. Because I am so close to the situation, they expect me to just take their side. Sometimes they have wanted me to attend their "pity party." Just so you know, don't invite me to those kind of parties, because I have a tendancy to crash them. Family is not only guilty of this, but so have some of my friends. I know that they are looking for support but I'm the blunt and honest one. I don't fear the repercussion, because I always speak from my heart with their best interest in mind. I love my family and friends, but sometimes they get frustrated with me because my words hurt them. Only because it's not what they want to hear but need to hear. So to my family and friends, keep watching Dr. Phil and or keep asking me for my advice, just keep growing and changing to achieve the results that you want and deserve in your life.
