all, you reason, it must be your fault, even if you can’t figure out exactly what
you didn’t do or get quite right.
After a while you start to feel better. Even the best of the masters and gurus
had their down times and even failures, (they call them results, by the way).
They used these experiences, (let’s call them that), to learn and grow from
and became the wondrous beings they are today. You must learn to learn
from your “results” too.
Well, if you’re in learning mode, what better thing to do than to look around for
a …. teacher! And so, off you’ll go again on the same old merry-go-round.
The person in the above account isn’t really you, it’s me. And it’s probably
you too. It’s thousands of people. Tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of
people to be strictly accurate.
And I love personal development. I may not be a guru, (thank goodness), but
I teach it, and I’ve been a student of the great and the small in the field. I’ve
read literally hundreds of self help books, attended countless seminars and
workshops, had thousands of group hugs, ended up with dozens of mailing
lists of people you never hear from or contact again and along the way have
gleaned an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of how to run my life to
perfection, be a millionaire, live in harmony with nature and generally be a
super human being.
I’ve led workshops too. I’ve had audiences of less than half a dozen to many
hundreds. I’ve written more than a handful of self help books and programs
too, and many articles on topics related to self help and self improvement.
The results are always the same. The vast majority of people don’t change.
In fact, not only do they not change, they don’t even try. It is well known
