How helpful are Self-Help resources?

“He out there, in walking out all charged, from a session that he just heard on “overcoming failure and achieving the success”. In his emotional high, he walks speedily as if his life is all about to change forever good. His cubical / room walls hold posters and words that re-kindle the drive to excel. His collections include tapes/ books from worldwide authors, whose prelude summarizes what they will experience and be after they read through the book. Looking at himself in the mirror he chants positive statements, hoping for results that his unconscious metaphysical mind would give forth.”

May be you have come across this person yourself. He is out there ever depending on the external to achieve the superlative internal potentials. In perusing for the Best he is slowly succumbed to a delusion that he will soon to be addicted to.

Are these self-help resources really helpful? If “yes” why does is the enthusiasm brief and leaves the entity in a possessed or rather vegetate mindset. If “No” why are there so many fools (harsh but can’t find a better word to describe their ignorance) who let their souls be invaded by unrealistic words of illusion.

Growth Begins from within. Physical, mental, Spiritual, social, personal, financial growth requires “PRATICAL, REAL-TIME” efforts. Note the Bolds “PRATICAL, REAL-TIME ” efforts.

To illustrate better, when trying to work-out (be it even just be a brisk walk) for close to 40 minutes everyday, one may visibly notice a paradigm shift in the emotional/physical health. The happy hormones (endorphins) boost positive emotions; HDL nurtures the healthy blood flow for the physical organs. For better mental growth one may try or learn a new art or language to discover the talents that one previously did not realize. For better Financial growth one may play with MONEY (invest & Re-invest the dividends) than to just wait on single paycheck every month. For good relationships, instead of being in a conservative shell (our friends) one may try to get aquatinted and build bonds with strangers.

If I were to list out the world would not contain. But on the crust, in my view “a person cannot blindly accept and follow a set of principles that worked for someone else. Everyone is unique. Only real-time pragmatic disciplined actions will empower a being to live life king size”

“If you really want to help yourself, pursue your dreams with a focus and commitment. Let your intelligence/ brain power fuel your passion. Results will amaze you!”

Well, as you said, all are unique. But insights from those who have walked and experienced definetly helps me.

Yes, it works only when u 'practise it, real time'. Norman Vincent Peale's Positive attitude when i was say 14 or 15. It has taken me a long way. It would be brief if we fail to practice it.

We need guidelines to live to the best. (Yr workout example is new to me.. !)If I practice it, it helps me. Aint, then it doesnt.

Bible is one good guide for life.
