Not everyone is their own “self-help book”. I, on the other hand am. I believe everything is a head game. If you think it will be…it will be! You are your own destiny. I’m not talking stars, it common logic. If you think you will get sick, you will. It will be a thought that lingers in your mind until it makes you sick. I can’t remember the last time I was sick. I don’t get the flu shot. I just tell myself I don’t get sick. I take my vitamin in the morning and go on with my day.
If you get depressed, you have to decide whether or not you want to be happy or if you are content being unhappy. I’m not saying that I don’t get depressed. I do. Rather often. But I know that it’s my choice to stay down or pick myself up and move on. No one can do that for me.
I have looked through a few self-help books. I don’t see how they are suposed to help. A book can’t help you only you can help you. I have a gym membership, that doesn’t mean I’m in great shape. Having the membership does nothing for me. I have to decide that I want to change and then I have to do it.
My friend missed a whole week of work because he would get himself so “worked up” that he could barely get out of bed. Rather than telling himself I can do this, it’s not that hard; he layed there saying I don’t know how I could ever do this, I can’t.
It’s all in what you tell yourself. You either can…or you can’t…You decide.
