Embracing selfhelp books from "summary" of Help me ! by Marianne Power
I devoured self-help books like they were going out of fashion. It was the ultimate form of procrastination. It felt like I was doing something good for myself, even though I wasn't actually doing anything at all. But I was starting to see that reading alone wasn't going to change my life. I needed to take action. I was stuck in a cycle of reading instead of doing.
Embracing self-help books was my way of avoiding the real work. I thought that if I read enough books, I would eventually stumble upon the perfect solution to all my problems. But I was missing the point. The real work comes after you put the book down. It's about taking what you've learned and applying it to your life.
I realized that I needed to stop using self-help books as a crutch. They were no longer a source of comfort for me. They were a source of avoidance. I had to confront the fact that I was using them as a way to escape reality. It was time to face my fears head-on and start making changes in my life.
Embracing self-help books was the easy part. The hard part was actually doing the work. I had to push past my comfort zone and take risks. It was uncomfortable and scary, but it was also empowering. I started to see progress in areas of my life that I had been neglecting for years.
I learned that self-help books are just a tool. They can provide guidance and inspiration, but they can't do the work for you. Embracing self-help books meant taking responsibility for my own growth and development. It meant putting in the hard work and making changes that were uncomfortable but necessary.
I had to shift my mindset from passive reader to active participant in my own life. Embracing self-help books was just the first step. The real transformation happened when I started taking action and making changes. It was a journey of self-discovery and growth that I wouldn't have embarked on if I had stayed stuck in my cycle of reading and avoiding.
