Why Self Help Books Fail

If you are reading this you're probably one of those people with a number of self help books that are currently accumulating dust in your bookshelf and self help ebooks that are filling up your computers memory, or you're just curious of what I have to say. Either way I know you will agree with me.

First of all, I'm not gonna claim to be an expert in this particular field because I am not, in fact I need help as well, badly.

I've read a number of self help books myself, and those books that are accumulating dust in your bookshelf, I am sure you've read them too! You were inspired by them, you were moved by them, it even got you teary eyed at some point! But the question is, "why are you still the same old you?" If these books are so helpful, why are you still struggling? Makes sense right?

Now, let's take a look at how we call these books. "Self Help" and let's write that in reverse "Help Self" Wow! Now does that mean that I have to do something after reading the book? If these books are so powerful, I should be a changed man after reading them from cover to cover, right?

Wrong! Let me tell you something I found out about these books. First of all they are great and I like to thank all the people who wrote them and shared their experiences with us. But I tell you, not unless you have the determination and drive to make your life better everything in those books will be fictitious to YOU. Yes, It all goes down to "YOU" all the inspiration and all the knowledge you gained will all be wasted if you do not put them to use. They will be accumulating dust in your brains just like the books in your bookshelf. And you will still be living the same old life that you were trying to change or make better in the first place.

Now, let me ask you a question. "Do you really want to make your life better?" If your answer is no then stop reading and find yourself another article coz you are wasting you time my friend, If yes then do this! Let us do it together ok? I told you I need help too so I am doing this with you.

I want you to close your eyes and start looking at yourself. Assess yourself and think of the things that you are currently doing right now, once you have them, classify them into.

"Things that are greatly contributing to my life" and

"Things that are contributing less or things that are completely just wasting my time.

And then concentrate on doing more of the things that are greatly contributing to your life and less of or totally eliminating those activities that does not. And then, make another list of the things that you know you should be doing to achieve more in your life like starting a business or getting a masters degree or just plainly looking for work a5B4nd make an outline on how you plan to achieve these things. Make yourself a goal!

Come on, get a pen and paper and write down your goals. The achievable goals and the impossible goals! I wrote down mine just before I wrote this article. Write down how you plan to achieve these goals and share it to your family and friends so you'll get all the support you need. And everyday make an assessment of close you are in achieving your goals and ask yourself

"What did I do today that contributed to my goal?" and shame on you if there is none.

Remember you have to stay focused, you have to have the perseverance and discipline so as not to stray from your goals, just think of the rewards that you will get once you're there up top with everything that you could ever dream of.

So, lets stop reading and start making things happen! Ok? I know I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna write another article in the future sharing my success! And I'll be looking out for yours too. Good Luck!
