If I'm single, unemployed and miserable do I have any right to give advice on how to be happy, successful?
I consider myself to be intelligent and wise, well-travelled and experienced. I enjoy answering psychology questions on Yahoo and am on a course to train to be a psychotherapist. I’ve even written a book on life-philosophy! But I am on anti-depressants and currently unemployed, massively in debt and haven’t been in a committed long-term sexual relationship ever! Do I have any right to give out advice to people on how to make a success of their lives when I can’t do it for myself? IE/ would you want to be taught English by someone who didn’t speak English?!

I say try a different lifestyle. I do believe you’re intelligent and wise, however, trials inflict everyone. Try’n find something you find purposefulness in. Don’t be afraid to try new things, you will be surprised how interesting other experiences in life can be. Find exactly, and I mean exactly, what’s depressing you and slowly but continuously work on it. Make plans on how to defeat this depression. Make sure you keep your thoughts positive. Travel some more and experience other parts of the world, you never know which place you will find your inner peace. If you need to move out of your current country, go ahead and work towards it with a solid plan.

Has your book been published? If not, have you looked up publishers in the Writer’s Market 2010?
Maybe you should re-examine your life philosophy. It doesn’t seem to be working very well.

Provided you can give really right ,sincere and helpful advice ,you have the right to try helping others irrespective of your life situation.But your first duty is to make your own life better
