How self-help can make a positive difference to your life

When you understand what is self-help and why self-help is very important, the next important thing to know is “How self-help can make a positive difference to your life”

Self-help starts with taking stock on yourself, getting to know yourself and what you really want in life. The first step for you to do is to do this important exercise of writing down on three pages, each page with one of these titles: “Who Am I”. What Do I Really Want To Achieve In Life” and “What Are My Action Plans To Get What I Really Want In Life.”

When it comes to self-help there are three common major areas of life which people are concerned about and they are:

Financial Freedom, Time Freedom and Good Health.

Let’s start with this important self-help exercise with the first page on “Who Am I”

Use these three major concerns as your benchmarks when you are doing this self-help exercise.

Where are you right now financially, how much passive income will you need to earn a month to achieve financial freedom?

What do you have to do to achieve financial freedom? Here you just put a few notes because you can write more about this in your other page: “What Are My Action Plans To Get What I Really Want In Life”

What self-help books, programs, seminars or opportunities that will help you achieve financial freedom? Are you willing to take the necessary actions required to help yourself?

Where are you now in terms of Time Freedom? Do you have enough time to live your dream and do the things you love to do, especially spend more quality time with your loved ones.

How is your health? Are you enjoying good health or there is room for improvements? Are you facing some health challenges? What are you going to do about it?

The next self-help exercise on the page “What Do I Really Want To Achieve In Life.” can be seen as a simple goal-setting exercise but it is much more than that. This self-help exercise is when you really get serious with yourself and search deeply and emotionally on the things that you have always wanted in your life but have not achieved yet.

It is very important that you do not rush through this self-help exercise because after all, it is a very important exercise about your life and what you want to make out of it, and you got only one life! This is not a dress rehearsal, this is the real thing.

During this important self-help exercise drill this question deep into your subconscious and feel it with your heart: “What Do I Really Want To Achieve In Life.” What is my legacy? What am I living for? What do I want to be remembered for? What are my excuses and fears? What is holding me back?

When you are doing this important self-help exercise, find a quiet place, preferably a quiet park where you are close to nature or near a lake or the sea, and for those who really want to get the most out of this exercise, a walk through a cemetery where the thought will really sink into you that you do not have forever. You must make the best use of your time that is available to you because death is very certain but the time of death is very uncertain.

Are you driving the car you like or the car you can afford?
Are you living in the house you like or the house you can afford?
Are you bringing your family to the holidays you like or the holidays you can afford?
Are you living your dream?
Do you have enough quality time with your loved ones?
Are you enjoying good health?
Are you contributing to society and helping people and making this world a better place? Are you living a happy life?

The last page will be on “What Are My Action Plans To Get What I Really Want In Life?” Focus on the three important areas of your life: Financial Freedom, Time Freedom and Good Health.

To achieve the passive income that will give you the financial freedom what are the things you must do to get you there? People do not plan to fail, they fail to plan. Have an action plan and put that plan into action, remember Nike’s slogan: Just Do It!

What are the self-help books, programs, seminars and opportunities that will help you achieve financial freedom? What are your daily activities you must do to achieve the results you want? There is only one person that you must be accountable to in this self-help exercise, and that person is you!

To achieve time freedom, what is your action plan? What are the things you must do daily that will bring you closer to this goal? Be crystal clear on what you must do, the key words are “must do”. Are you willing to do whatever it takes ethically to achieve financial freedom and time freedom?

What are your daily habits, are they bringing you closer to financial freedom, time freedom and good health.

To achieve good health, what is your action plan? What exactly must you do to bring you closer to your goal of good health? Are you committed to consistent daily efforts. Success is a process and this self-help exercise requires you to commit to yourself in writing, the things you must do daily to achieve the results you want.

There is no excuse for not achieving what you want in life because there is no lack of knowledge, now with the Internet, you can easily have access to all the information you need to achieve the results you want. You cannot say you don’t know. There is a wise saying from Bruce Lee, the world’s most famous martial artist, “Knowing is
not enough.” You must take action!

You want to get the best out of this self-help exercise, take action right now, take a pen and three pages, and write the title on each page:

“Who Am I”.
What Do I Really Want To Achieve In Life” a
“What Are My Action Plans To Get What I Really Want In Life.”

If is very important to take these important steps to help yourself and all successful people have taken these same steps and always believe in improving themselves through self-help books, cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs, programs, seminars, workshops and anything that can help them to become a better person.

To be successful, learn from those who are successful. Successful people work with universal laws that will never fail them, these universal laws work all the time, laws such as the law of gravity, the law of cause and effect, the law of averages, and the law of multiplication. Take time to study the lives of successful people and you follow their footsteps and you are on your way to success!

Understand important natural laws such as the law of sowing and reaping, “You can count the number of seeds in an apple but you cannot count the number of apples in the seeds.”

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step” This important self-help exercise is your first step towards Financial Freedom, Time Freedom and Good Health.

Every morning when you look into the mirror, remember these words:

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the cause of it all.”
“If it is to be, it is up to me!”
"If not now, when? If not me, who? It is not how? It is why?”
