All the so-called "secrets of success" will not work unless you do. - Author Unknown
Have you ever noticed how many “latest, greatest” books, videos, and material there is out there? Walk into any bookstore or take a cruise around the Internet and thousands of titles will scream out at you:
The Underground Secrets to . . . Earn a Massive Income by . . . The Little-Known Techniques for. . . Amazing Powers of . . . - It’s all too easy to get sucked into buying “how-to” after “how-to”. Are any of these products helpful? Yes, but only if you actually put the knowledge into action!
Most of us are great learners. We love to read, watch, listen to, and absorb new ideas like a sponge. We love exploring new techniques and ideas to better our lives, improve our relationships, make more money, get a better body, and so on. However, a problem arises when we spend all of our time searching for that “latest, greatest” tip that will propel us to the success we desire.
What we forget is that the most helpful material out there is only as valuable as our ability to use it effectively in our lives. If we just absorb it and let it sit idle in our heads, not much change is going to take place.
If we take even the most moderately helpful ideas and put them into action, we immediately reap the rewards. Rather than having a vague wisp of knowledge rattling around in our minds, we now have a solid addition to our personal growth process. With each new book or video we buy, we can increase the value we receive from it by taking time to work with the techniques or ideas before moving on to something else.
Over time, this habit helps us to create lives that are well-rounded, deep and enriched. Rather than a shelf full of useless tools and techniques, we have a library of resources and knowledge that can empower us to take charge of our lives.
As time goes on, we also come to understand that less is more. We don’t feel compelled to keep buying more and more and more self-help products – only the ones we know intuitively will add something of value to our long-term progress.
