Is Personal Development Bullshit?

Have you noticed the big smiles of personal development gurus? They're all so happy.

Now, we all need someone to inspire us and even kick us in the butt to get going. I agree with that. But there's one thing most of the gurus never tell you: you can't have everything in life!


You can be everything you want! You can have whatever you want as long as you desire it strong enough! You can be happy! etc. 

This and lots of other bullshit is being served within each seminar of personal development. The funny part: people pay to listen to this kind of crap.

Remember the gold rush paradox? If not let me summarize it for you: in every gold rush there are a few people who get rich by finding gold and then there is this other bunch of people who get rich by selling shovels to gold seekers. 

The self help gurus are selling you shovels with which you can find your gold...

You won't be happy. Actually, you may get depressed!

What the gurus aren't telling you is you have to put tons of work into what you call your business. That's also something you may have guessed yourself. However, when you put tons of work, it doesn't mean it'll eventually pay off.

The only business experience the gurus have is in their own guruness. Most of their live they've been selling their own courses which were teaching you how to build your business and reach your true potential while living happily...


Forget about Zen philosophies. Make a decision and do something already.

I'd like to meet the pastor or guru who doesn't promise anything. I'd like to hear a guy preaching:

You'll be miserable! You'll be poor! You'll ruin your health! You'll have no friends! You won't accomplish anything in this life...if you keep spending your time listening to gurus like me.

Unfortunately, they have to make a living and they won't tell you that. But you're smart enough not to fall into their trap of   Zen BS, right?

What you can do is make a list of priorities:

• Want more business? Yes? - work more and forget about beer and other distractions.
• Want more security? Yes? - find a safe job and do your 9 to 5. 
• Want more safe friends? Yes? - don't work more than them, do not aspire to much more then they aspire to.
• etc.

It all comes down to what you really want and how bad you want it - there's always a downside and a sacrifice to make. The rest is cometary.
