Advice Not Taken and Ideas Unused
It’s great to learn new ideas and get advice from various sources. But do you employ it?
For years I have been a fan of all things self-improvement, self-help, inspiration, and empowerment. I have read or listened to countless books and programs by both well-known and lesser-known figures.
Topics have ranged from general self-help to mindfulness to inspiration to wealth consciousness and on and on. Many different formats and approaches, lots of ideas and advice to make my life awesome and amazing.
I have even taken much of what I have learned and distilled it to you in a manner that, I believe, is poignant but approachable. I’ve been working to share my process from all the material I have gone over, studied, and worked to absorb in the hopes that I can inspire you as others have inspired me.
For all the advice that I offer and ideas that I share, how much of what I have received have I made use of? What reasons are there for not making use of it?
That’s what I am going to share now.
The opposition
Steven Pressfield calls it Resistance. Jen Sincero calls it The Big Snooze (or BS for short). The name only matters for the purpose of identifying the opposition.
