Help Your Self To Help... For Success

Self help is absolutely crucial for your success. To achieve all the success that you desire, you need to do all that is within your power to help your self to achieve your goals. Over relying on others, or even on God, will only lead to your disappointment.

Self help alone is never enough, though. There is a limit to what you can accomplish on your own. Forming strategic alliances with others, and learning how to trust what lies beyond your power of control, are just as necessary as self help.

Motivation is the drive to succeed. When two or more self-motivated individuals work in harmony for a common cause their individual motivation multiplies, empowering them with even more drive to get more done.

But high-charged people are attracted only to other high-charged people. The self help advice for attracting motivational people to your cause is therefore to first be your own highly motivated self.

Help, motivational help, will automatically come your way to the extent that you are already highly self-motivated.

But what if you are not feeling motivated? What if you feel discouraged, defeated, even depressed? Then you might long to attract motivated people to lift your spirits. But they won't come until you do enough self help work to lift your own.

Exposing yourself to the inspirational videos you can find on this self help site (www.wisieforsuccess.com) and reading motivational quotes like the following 12 that I have composed represent resources for that form of self help. These are from a short book of mine, with the long title: Inspirational Quotes From the Self Help Wisdom Books and Recordings of Bob Lancer

Reading capsulized lines of focused power like these – I sometimes call them "Self help vitamines for the mind" - can pull you out of your blues by refocusing your attention onto what you can do.

Any time that you do not receive the assistance that you desire from another, open your mind to the possibilities of how you can meet your own needs. You will find a way, a way to help your self. Help that you can use to achieve your goals and make your dreams come true will come from others as you do all you can to help your self.
Help Your Self To Helpr
So the basic self help principle being presented here shows you how to access a level of power beyond your self: help yourself to help! As you rely more on your self, help from other sources will be available. You will attract it.

This leads us to the final self help power to be described in this article: your power to accept the support that becomes available to you. If your pride makes it too difficult to accept another's aid, or if your self-concept is so low that you feel unworthy of another's support or incapable of fulfilling the sense of responsibility you feel upon accepting another's help, you limit your potential to succeed.

The level of success that you can achieve and maintain depends upon the level of your ability. And your ability to do all you can for your success includes the willingness to forge ties with others with the wherewithal and inclination to do things for you. To do all you can to help yourself includes helping your self to the help you are offered.
