18、rovement that all of you may experience. Do you still remember your first self improvement book? After reading it, you probably got “pumped“ up. You may have felt like you could do anything. Open that business, get that job, and get that raise. You felt unconquerable and then a couple of weeks later

19、, you were down again. So you went to the bookstore and got another book. Another incredible high after you read it. You believed in yourself, took action, felt invincible and then a couple weeks later, you became down again. This depicts the first phase that people go through on their journey of se

20、lf improvement. They rely on books, speakers, or tapes to “pump“ them up, to tell them that they can do it. Its true though. You can do it. Everything you need to accomplish anything you want is already inside of you. You can do it. This is the basis, the foundation, the thesis if you will, of all s

21、elf improvement. Everything hangs upon that simple fact. This addiction to the pump of “I can do“ it lasts until that fact gets deep in your mind. Once that happens, you go on to the second phase of self improvement, which is mass absorption of knowledge. You start looking for the how to part. Its n

22、ot enough to know that everything you need is already inside of you. You want to know how to use that something which is inside of you to achieve your goals. Slowly you start to gain knowledge on positive thinking, visualization, goal setting, the power of beliefs, refraining, discipline, etc. You f

23、ind you have some measure of success with each “tool“ you discover, but you then realize its only effective for a little while. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of human achievement out there that you feel overwhelmed with information. You feel as if theres so much to learn and so little time

24、and each time you think you found the key to it all, you read about yet, another key to success, and another, and another, to the point where you go on a seemingly never ending hunt to gather all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together. This is the phase where most people get stuck. They start chas

25、ing their own tails. One more book, one more article, one more principle, one more tip, then Ill find that missing link Im looking for. They never apply what they learn and instead seek comfort in knowledge alone. Whats worse is that some stubbornly insist on one principle, thinking thats its the ke

26、y to it all, like affirmations, or visualization, but they inevitably find out that its not what they were looking for. When youve read enough literature on the subject of goal achievement and start to apply some of the knowledge youve learned, you then start the journey of your third phase. This th

27、ird phase involves putting the pieces of the puzzle together. You cease looking at the things you learned as separate from one another and you start to realize that they are all part of one big picture. You start putting two and two together. You realize that positive thinking is linked to your powe

28、r of choice to shape reality, which then influences the way you perceive things, hence influences your future actions. You realize your beliefs were acting like lens that perceived reality to be conducive to your beliefs, thereby shaping your actions without even knowing it. Slowly you start to merg

29、e the little pieces into bigger pieces in order to assemble the big picture and then the fourth and final phase hits you like a ton of bricks. The fourth and final phase of self improvement involves realizing that there is a natural process to human achievement and the cycle then completes full circ

30、le. You come back to the first phase, namely that everything you needed to accomplish anything you wanted was inside of you, but this time, you are conscious of it. You understand it on a deeper level that you couldnt feel before, because now youre not hindered by formula or technique, but rather fr

31、eed by nature in all its simplicity. Realize that there is a natural process to achieving your goals. Long before any self improvement books were ever written, people were achieving great things without them. They didnt need Tony Robbins or Jim Rohn. It was inside them the entire time. The reason wh

32、y you see so much literature on self improvement whenever you go to a bookstore is that people have forgotten this basic fact, that what they are seeking is already within them, that they already have the means within them to achieve their goals. These books just provide people with the “pump“ to wa

33、ke them up. Now the search begins for the how. When they accept the fact that they have what it takes and go on that how to phase, they find themselves overwhelmed with so much information that they just dont know what to make of it In addition, how to deal with the barrier when you find yourself st

34、uck there. Heres my advice: Youve got to start seeing how everything fits together. Realize that there is no one key to success. I know youve read countless books and articles that highlight one principle as the key to success, like believing, or perseverance, or hard work. Clear your mind of that k

35、ind of narrow minded thinking right now. Once you figure out how to achieve your goals naturally, you wont need those books like you used to.
