I'm talking about like 3 years of experience.
I read "Think and Grow Rich", also "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles, and the whole "The Secret" saga with the "law of attraction" bullshit. I read the "7 habits of highly successful people" and some book (don't remember it's name) on how to stop your mind thinking and gain control over your brain or whatever. Also much more than that but my memory fails me right now. Including psychology books, books on relaxing, success, happiness, you name it.
Point is, they're mostly bullshit. Most of these books are about how the author was miserable and a failure until one day a light bulb struck the tip of his penis and he/she (could be a she) came up with a revolutionary theory on how humans should live their life. Then they come up with a list of rules and stuff. Dismissing the possibility that one thing that works for someone couldn't work for another. There is no life rules or whatever. There is no "right" way to live life. Plus what is success anyway? It's all very subjective.
What I know is one general rule and I don't need anybody to teach it to me: if you want to achieve something, just work really hard for it and you'll get it. You might fail a million times but with hard work and persistence you'll get there. That's the only "guaranteed" rule to get something you want. Otherwise you just accept your destiny and deal with it. You can't "control" your life from A-Z no matter what.
Plus if these people are really helping you or if they could be succesfull just by using their list of gibberish rules (rules differ from one author to another but they float the same ideas that convince you because they look fancy) then why do they take your money? If I was really successful and rich, and mastered the secrets of the world and wanted to share them and HELP people, then why would I charge you for it? It's all a scam. They are just sucking your money. If you wanna be successful just work hard. And live yuor life the way you want it (and the way it unfolds), not the way some loser authors want to convince you to. And if you are depressed or sad or whatever and you need to feel good, then don't go to seminars or watch life coaches or read this shit, just visit a god damn therapist and get over it and get on with your life.
I say you in a general sense for everyone and not directed at you particularly.
There are some rules that are universal i.e... gravity, sow a tomato seed reap a tomato, and others that are more abstract. Just the way gravity works the same way for everyone...these other more abstract rules also work for everyone. The key is making them work for you instead of against you.
Let's take gravity.
Gravity is easy because you can see its effects instantly in just about every occasion. Some of the more abstract rules take a little longer to show their effects...but they eventually do show themselves.
Like gravity these more abstract rules don't care who you are or if you believe in them, they just are, just like gravity just is...and like gravity if you respect/disrespect them, they will benefit you and you can accomplish great things or you can do do much harm to yourself and/or to others.
So when you say,"there is no right way to live" go tell me that after you jump off of the 12th story of a building with nothing but your boxers and tell me that there is no right way to LIVE. There is a right way, and it includes not jumping off the 12th story of buildings in the way I described. It's just because the consequence of jumping off the building in the way I described is immediate and dramatic you know the right way live isn't to do that.
With some of the other more abstract rules in life the consequences don't manifest themselves as swiftly or quickly as gravity, but over time not living the right way causes a person to be unsuccessful in whatever they want to accomplish in there life.
If you didn't get at least that much from all the books you said you read...
go back and read them again...after you've read the slight edge.
P.S. - I get my books from the library so they don't cost me a cent.
any life coach for me? Really I need an accountant
