Self-help and motivational books, finding the right one for you ...

Motivation, some of us are born with this attribute. While?for others it is learned, from?a parent, family member, friend or maybe from a book. Motivation or what we believe to be motivation, is subjective especially when we are evaluating ourselves. To be critical of ourselves is not easy and lets face it admitting to oneself ?we are lax? or have been approaching some aspect of our lives wrong? How many of us can actually say we have evaluated ourselves honestly??Self improvement does not need to be?a horrifying journey of reflection, action and attempted change. Improving ourselves and achieving lasting improvement, all about opening our minds to new ideas/sources.

Finding the right source, to suggest one specifically would imply that we all are the same which we are not. With plenty of material out there to choose, from Dr. Phil to old school sources like Norman Vincent Peale?s ? The Power of Positive Thinking?, the self-improvement resource part is rather easy. Getting through that resource and learning from it, that?s the hard part! For the love of books, I find myself most often at the used book store and thrift stores. Pricing has something to do with it sure but the search for a surprise?good read is what I love about these stores the most. Nothing in mind when I go there so if I find a book, I buy it, if I don?t I leave empty-handed.?The most recent purchase I made?for $1.00, Pat Croces? ?I Feel Great and you will too? published in 2000.?The book about his journey of success and life story on how he achieved success. Owner of Physical Therapy Centers around the country he was also the former owner of the Philadelphia Seventy Sixers. Being from the area I? knew something about him, I am a Sixer fan so ?why not?. (Note: was not in the market or belief I needed motivation)

The book was?a relaxing, funny read and also as stated in the title ??.and you will too!? Feeling Great and saying it, a simple philosophy which was reinforced throughout the entire book. As I stated I was not in the belief I needed or was in the market for a motivational book but after reading it, I DID NEED IT! How we think most certainly impacts everything we do and how well we do it. I plan on keeping this book even if only to look at the title as a reminder. Searching for motivation or changing how we approach our lives, if we task ourselves to do this I believe makes it?far more difficult. Nothing against Dr. Phil, ?Norman Vincent Peale?or the many others who write self-improvement, but motivation and becoming motivated can be learned/improved a heck of a lot easier when we aren?t looking for it.
