Hypocrisy?

I often wonder, how it is that we know about, what to eat, what not to eat, exercising, right and wrong, etc., yet we don’t always do them.
I’ve started to like to write recently, and though I am no expert I find that I like to be philosophical.
I find that I can write all I want about the way I think things “should be”, yet I am not able to be that way myself.
Is it hypocritical to say one thing and do another? Probably, and also to be human might be hypocritical in itself.
The word hypocrite is usually used in a very negative way to describe an inconsistent behavior that we really don’t like in someone (usually someone other than our-self).
We may even think it too harsh of a word if someone is just a little inconsistent. But get a little “too” inconsistent and look out! Now you’re a full fledged hypocrite! Yikes! Hahahahaha
I don’t know if I’ve ever been called a hypocrite by anyone. I do notice that I am inconsistent however. Not necessarily more than other people either. I am writing this because I truly would like to find the cure!
I am a jet engine mechanic by trade and even though it is not “rocket science”, in order to be proficient at building a specific kind of jet engine I have to do it every day. Even if that is a bit of an exaggeration I do build them usually forty hours a week.
My point, (or excuse) is that I wish that I would practice some of the things I write about forty hours a week. Herein lies the problem….
Is there anyway to improve this? Well, one way might be to live a very long time and hope to gain wisdom practicing a little at a time.
I’m wanting to not only make myself more efficient, (and effective) but to also help others that might be interested. (I also enjoy teaching others about jet engines.)
So I write. Maybe it’s not the most effective way. Being a daily example to others might even be more effective. I’m guessing a lot of people want to improve the world. I imagine there are even more opinions on just how to go about it.
So, like digging weeds out of the yard (which by-the-way I never do) I need to keep trying, if only a little at a time and even though it seems to be never ending.
The reward? We are trained since we are very young that there should be a reward. I try to never focus on the possibility of a reward though I am sure I wouldn’t continue to build jet engines if they quit paying me.
The reward for wanting to be a “do gooder” for me anyway, is that I think that it is necessary. There is plenty that I think is “wrong” with our world. I want to improve it!
Sure, it would help if I knew how. Whenever anyone starts a new job it is rare that they know all of the “ins and outs” about how to perform every aspect of their job.
So I’ll practice, and in the process I’ll probably be a hypocrite at times as well.
