Self-Help Doesn't Help
I've had an overwhelming urge to write a post on self-help and what I think of it. I haven't been shy about it in the past. I'm subscribed to a lot of feeds and I just checked them today. A few of those blogs represent every single thing I hate about the Self-Help industry.
Now before people whine or if you're looking for help - this video signifies everything I believe in. Go nuts. My biggest problem with self-help is that it is masturbation. It's just such fluff. Precision Change - This site was on my feed list and I didn't get around to deleting it until today. What scares me about posting this link is that people are going to say "wow, that's a great site". I can't stand the site. Every single article they post is masturbation. It's just such fluff. They just put these words in sentences and it's complete and utter crap. I'm trying to find the right words to explain what I feel when I read that page and I'm not sure if there is a word for it. Basically, I see words on the page, but there's nothing there. It's like when you're reading a book, you get to the bottom of the page and realized you don't remember anything. It's like that. There's nothing there - it's just fluff. Finance Your Freedom - This is another site except this one is oriented to the whole make money while you travel around the world. If you read the posts, it's all just crap. It's fluff. It's complete and utter waste of time. I don't know what I hate more about self-help; the assholes that create this stuff or the loyal followers that buy into it and become crusaders for them. Take Anthony Robbins, he got successful by telling people how to get successful. Doesn't that irritate everyone. The guy was a fucking janitor and living in a small shitty apartment when he started doing this self-help crap. It's not like this is a conspiracy, he admits this in his books and the assholes that read it just eat it up. The only people that seem to be successful with self-help are the people that are selling self-help. The readers are so damn indoctrinated by the propaganda that they're just crusaders. They think they're successful, but they're not. When I was still on wordpress for this blog, someone commented on my past self-help post that I must not be reading the right books. Ahhh. That person is purely indoctrinated. It's just complete and utter crap. Why do you hate self-help so much? The reason I hate it so much is that I've wasted so much time with it. I think that's what it does. You think you're getting something done and you're moving your life forward by reading these books and doing the exercises, but you're not. It's a waste of time. This video explains everything that I believe. To sum up the video "ACTION". Just fucking do it. It doesn't matter how much positive thinking, accurate goal setting, NLP exercises or whatever the hell else you do, it won't happen until you get off your ass and do it. Here's the deal; improving yourself requires pain, struggle and sacrifice. You can't improve yourself without those things. People buy self-help because it promises to take away the pain, struggle and sacrifice of change. It's not going to happen. If you're horrible with the ladies and shy as hell, no matter what you buy you're going to have to eventually act and feel pain, struggle with it and sacrifice for it. Just do it. Ass!
