Self Help vs Self Focus?

By Self Help Guru On September 2, 2009 No Comments

Does self help mean some narcissistic focus on the Self that is unhealthy or out of balance as many critics of the self help movement argue? Does this focus on self help compromise limit or eliminate healthy focus on others and on community in general? Author, Mental Health and Life Coach, A.J. Mahari erts that she believes the more people are helped to know the Self inside the more they can actually then connect more consistently and effectively with not only the Self inside of themselves (so to speak) and others but also with the source of their own spirituality.

Classical Motivation Method – My Size 12s Up Your A#@…!

By Self Help Guru On August 10, 2009 No Comments

I was talking to Jim, a well respected business associate of mine the other day and he began telling me about his distaste for what we call modern self help.  Jim has reached a level of success that many people dream their entire lives about.

In fact, Jim has lost and rebuilt in his time more than many of the “so-called” success gurus everyone loves to follow out there have YET to build.  Nuff said…

Jim said, “Rasheed, I know you guys are in the self help industry, but come on man!  What happened to good ol’ fashioned get off your ass and do something?”

I chuckled because I knew he was right and that’s something I’ve been making clear to people who have purchased my self growth program the Grow Rich While You Sleep Success System.

I tell people, “Don’t focus only on the benefits of my product, because it’s important to take a balanced view.”

“You don’t just purchase my product and expect success.  You need to add some elbow grease to it and it works like a miracle.”

He continued (sounding a lot like Chris Farley in Tommy Boy), “Rasheed, you know what we called motivation in my day?  Not the law of attraction or any of that CRAP, screw that stuff!  We had my size 12 shoes up your ass sideways!”

In other words, Jim meant that if you didn’t get off your BUTT and do something in those days, you got your butt whooped!

Literally and figuratively speaking.

I had some time to think about it after I picked myself up off the floor from laughing so hard (you had to hear him say it).

I mean think about it…

What happens when you start to work towards a goal?

Everything starts changing and you are propelled into a state of momentum and progress.

As a matter of fact, that also happens to be the time when many people seem to “attract” or “manifest” miraculous events in their lives and “attract” much more than they ever expected.

Wonder why that is?

Makes me wonder, is it the law of attraction or those size twelves that are responsible for that?

This is not “anti-LOA-ism” or anything because I DO still belive in the Law of Attraction.  Just that my beliefs about it are not what the gurus have most people believe and it’s certainly not as fluffy as some movies have you believe as well.

There’s truth in both philosophies so don’t take offense.  I prefer Sleep Your Way To Riches, but Work Your Way To Riches works too!

Listen… all jokes aside, if it is the Law of Attraction… then why does my ass hurt every time I sit down and try to do nothing?

Damn you Jim… Damn you!  LOL
