Day 4 of Philosophy > Self Help
⚪ Statement: "It is ok to be different"
This statement is somewhat true, but people take this in the wrong way.
They think what they are doing differently, even bad things, are good.
They cant differentiate between good and bad
Self Help Deceives

Think less about being “right” and more about being curious.

If you say you are educated and still don't know how to differentiate between right and wrong then you are not educated.

All reading doesn't help you grow. "Sometimes it polishes the chains that hold you back"
Look at this example-
“You are perfect just the way you are.”
No, you’re not. Growth means change.
If your reading list doesn't make you uncomfortable it's confronting your worst habits.

Before starting out on your journey define what success is for you -
What do you want from life and what you think about life❓
What do you enjoy doing ❓
What amount of time are you willing to devote to becoming successful❓

Day 1 of Debunking Self-Help:
Statement: "You are perfect the way you are"
❌Why It Feels Good:
It validates your inner lazy self.
✅The Truth:
You are never enough, nobody is perfect, everybody has some room to improve and learn new things, keep changing yourself constantly.

A lot of people today don’t know how to take a compliment.
You say: “Nice suit!”
They say: “Oh, it’s my dad’s… it’s kinda old… doesn’t even fit right…”
No one asked for a backstory. Just say 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 and own the compliment.

Be ruthless, being weak and scared is going to get you nowhere. You have to speak up because only then you will get what you want

Day 2 of Debunking Self-Help:
"If it is meant to be, it will happen"
❌Why It Feels Good: It takes the pressure off and lets you wait instead of act.
✅The Truth: Nothing "meant to be" happens without effort and action.
"Fate is a lazy man's crutch"
