Here’s a little bit of humor for today. :)

Twelve Steps for Personal Development Addicts

1. We admitted that we were powerless over the latest program offered by Tony Robbins – that our lives had become unmanageable (but maybe GTD will help!).

2. Came to believe that if the book we read last week wasn’t working, maybe if I buy another one, it will!

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Dr. Phil.

4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our local or virtual bookstore’s self-help section.

5. Humbly admitted to no one, especially not ourselves, that we weren’t really working on any of this stuff, just thinking about it and not taking any action.

6. Were entirely ready to have the latest guru remove all of our defects of character.

7. Humbly asked a different guru to remove our shortcomings (because that last one we tried didn’t help much).

8. Made a list of all of the books, CDs, and online courses that we don’t yet own, and became willing to purchase them all.

9. Made direct purchases of all of those books, CDs, and online courses, except when to do so would… naw, never mind, we’ll just buy ‘em no matter what.

10. Continued to be on the lookout for the latest books, CDs, and online courses, and pre-ordered them whenever possible.

11. Sought through Google and Yahoo to stay up to date with the latest personal development blogs, looking only for quick and easy solutions, and rejecting anything that seems like it might take work.

12. [I've already moved on to something else.]
