Creating a Better Life

I am a self help addict. I read books and listen to seminars like I used to drink - to distract myself from my own thoughts and feelings, and actually doing anything about those things that I want to change.

Self Help, Personal Development, whatever you want to call it, can be a useful tool in making changes that we want to make in our lives.

A hammer can be an effective tool in building a home. But if all I did was buy a hammer, take it out of the box and look at it, saying to myself “Yup, now that’s a nice hammer,” it’s useless.

Useless unless it’s used. Unless some sweat and elbow grease is put into actually building the house, then all of the hammers in the world are just taking up space.

So I’m going to start using the tools that I already have collected.

The first toolbox I’m opening is the Wealth Beyond Reason program. There is more information in that one program than I could ever hope to learn in my lifetime.

But I don’t have to worry about my whole life here.

I’m going work it consistently for the next 30 days (a la Steve Pavlina) and see what kind of difference a focused effort on it will make in my life. I’ll be setting up a separate blog to track this… stay tuned for the address.

I’ve written about this program before… but because of my general lack of persistence with almost every self help program out there, I would work it for one or two days, maybe a week at the most, and then run off to the next big thing, where the grass is greener and the promises of happiness and riches even greater.

But is the answer to being a self help addict to use a self help program?

I suppose it would have to be. If I want to change something about myself, and I want help in doing it, then I need to find that help.

I just need to use it.
