Most People Don’t Even Read Past the Title of a Self Help Article Before Sharing It

After a brutal year like 2020, people are desperate for something different. They want to change their life, so they get fired up, buy themselves a brand new self help book and swear up and down this year will be different.

Then what happens?

Nothing.

They don’t even read it.

They read the title or maybe they get through the first few paragraphs and go right back to doing what they were already doing.

Why?

Because sharing an article is a form of self delusion called “action faking.” That’s doing something that gives you the feeling of having done something when you really haven’t done anything at all.

Sharing an article, or buying another self help book when you haven’t even read the last one makes you feel like you’re making changes in your life.

But until you start making changes in the real world you’re not doing anything at all.

If you want to be a writer, you can read books on writing, and go to writing seminars, and talk about writing with friends, but until you actually sit down and start writing every day, you’re not writing. Seminars and reading are not writing. Writing is writing.

And until you read that self help article or book and actually put it into practice you haven’t change your life, you’ve just fooled yourself into thinking you’ve done something.

The sad part is people start reading something and promise they’ll make changes but they don’t and that’s why…Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
