“Teach Me Something New” and Why This Is A Foolish Approach
Posted by Kagisho in Conscious LivingDec 11th, 2011 | no responses
After spending 8 years of reading personal development books, I found out one astonishing fact.
There is nothing new.
I had read about personal success from great authors from Napolean Hill, Anthony Robbins, Stephen R. Covey, Wayne Dyer, Brian Tracy and many other awesome authors that I am unable to completely list down here.
These are excellent authors and they have great philosophy that I believe help many others to achieve success in their life.
I would say I learn a lot from their books but I found out that there isn’t anything new. Once you read enough personal development books, you will find out that there isn’t anything new and all you need is to understand the core message and get out there and apply the new knowledge that you gained.
Search For The Elixir Will Put You Through More Misery
Are you on the search for elixir?
Elixir doesn’t exist. I don’t believe there is anything like that and if you will be simply wasting your time if you are searching for something like this.
It is the same in personal development. Are you searching for the “next big thing” that will help you transform your life?
If you are, be prepared for more disappointments. Because there isn’t any next big thing that will help you turn your life around.
Should I Continue To Read Personal Development Books?
Even though the core message in every personal development books is similar, I don’t think you should stop reading them anytime soon.
The point that I am driving to is that you shouldn’t have the mindset that you are searching for “the next big thing” that will help you transform your life. All the ideas and concepts that can transform your life or make your life a better one can be found in almost every personal development books.
The key is to apply and follow through, which means take action!
Once you embrace the mindset that you do not need to search for the missing piece of jigsaw puzzle and just apply everything that you learn from the current personal development book that you are reading, you will experience almost instant results.
What Do You Plan To Do Now?
I believe you should keep reading and learning. Even though most personal development books contain the same core message, you tend to gain some new knowledge every time you read a new book.
If you read consistently, you learn better because repetition is the base of learning. We may not get the idea the first time we read a book, but getting the same message over and over again will help us understand it better and hopefully induce us to go and apply the knowledge that we picked up.
So stop searching for the elixir and start applying everything that you picked up from the current personal development book that you are reading. It is going to help you to get so much more in life.
Have a great weekend everybody!
Cheers
