Hmmm ... I've got to ring in here that your comment is completely wrong. Like you don't do anything! You are safe and trustworthy because of what you do. People come to you and talk to you. 1. You talk back 2. You listen 3. You actively participate in the conversation 4. Where needed, you give sound advice (think that's easy, think again, it's *hard* to give good advice, much less so consistently that people are repeat questioners) 5. You give interesting and thoughtful insight.
That's *doing* all kinds of stuff and, while it may seem easy to you, it isn't. You're helping shape people's lives, damn it! That's so far from not doing anything that it makes my head spin! And, not only are you shaping people's lives, but you're doing it so successfully, that they're coming back and asking for more.
