Helping yourself.

Self-help is not found in books. The only way to help yourself is to just do it. If you keep on reading self-help without helping yourself, you’ll accumulate worthless knowledge that may be impressive to talk about, but it’s of no real value.

The reason why helping yourself is hard is because it’s so simple. You convince yourself that the answer to your problems must be more complicated and harder to implement. So you keep seeking more self-help books to solve the same problem. You get lost in the maze of self-deception.

Books can give you clues, but they can’t get you out of the maze to the training ground of life. You must put that book down to go out there and help yourself.
