Go Motivate Yourself

Read books to get comfortable room

So Much “Self-Help” When I was younger, I spent a lot of time in the “self-help” aisle in bookstores (there were a lot more book store chains then, including Walden Books, B Dalton and Borders, and a lot more Barnes & Noble locations). I read books about relationships, communication, fitness, work, personal finance and motivation. With each book I thought, “aha, this is going to help me figure out what I want out of life and how to get it.” I read the classics—How to Win Friends and Influence People, The Road Less Traveled, See You at the Top, I’m OK You’re OK, The Power of Positive Thinking and What to Say When You Talk to Yourself. They all had something to offer and I applied their principles to my daily routine. I often found, though, that the results were fleeting or non-existent, which drove me back to the bookstore in search of the next best thing. Now for those of you who have read these books or others like them and found them to have changed your lives, I couldn’t be happier for you. They simply did not have that effect on me. I was trying to apply someone else’s paradigm to my life and despite best efforts, I wasn’t seeing any results. Perhaps I was reading the wrong books or asking the wrong questions, but these books didn’t help me figure out what I wanted from life and how to get it. Most of us have a desire to do great things with our lives—big, meaningful, amazing things—but we have a hard time getting from here to there. These books were not getting me from here to there, but that didn’t stop me from reading more and more of them. I was sure I was about to stumble onto something big. Just one more book. Just one more. That book never came.

Then there is this book.........!
