This article will investigate probably the most plausible cause why so many people fail with these programs.
First and foremost you must understand you are in charge of your life, you always have been and always will be.
This is quite a daunting thought for most people,in fact over 90% of people play the blame game,its easier to blame people, places and things than take full responsibility for our actions.
You can see this in so many lives, how many times have we heard, “it wasn’t me guv it was him”.
Or we find it’s easier to blame the boss or work colleagues when we are not progressing in the work place. How often have we blamed our partners for holding us back? How often is it the government or authorities fault, we can always say we are too young or too old. It seems there is no end to the excuses we can find.
The best excuse for not achieving must be “It’s not my fault I can’t get anywhere, I am like I am because of the conditioning of my childhood, and it was my fathers/mothers fault”.
Yes, you may have been conditioned to accept a certain lifestyle and to accept a certain standard of living but this doesn’t mean you cannot change it.
When you can honestly stand and raise your hand up, take full responsibility for your actions, and accept everything in your past, your success and your failures, and know these are down to you, then and only then it is at that time you can say you are half way to becoming as successful as you want to be.
If you know deep down there is more to life, and you are prepared to be one of the small minority that take full control and responsibility for their actions good or bad, then these self-help programs will help you get into action so you can achieve wealth, health and happiness.
If you can just stop for one minute and look at the most important word in the last sentence, no not wealth nor is it health or happiness the most important word in the last sentence is actually the corner stone of any self-help program and the key to your new life and success the word is ACTION.
It is so important I will say it again ACTION… and that is the bottom line. Self-help programs cannot work if we don’t take ACTION, and if you want to know the real truth here it is.
The truth is this, only about 3% of people (maybe less), that read through a self-help or life improvement program will take the action to actually change their thinking and so give them the success they desire.
10% will read through the program make a plan but fail to continue to apply it to their everyday living. The rest may not even finish reading the book.
So when you are buying any self-help or improvement program always remember, You are in charge, don’t make excuses and you must take action for it to work.
