Live Life Aggressively! What Self Help Gurus Should Be Telling You
Live Life Aggressively What Self Help Gurus Should Be Telling You Author:Mike R Mahler I am not here to motivate you. I am here to make you think. That is what this book is all about: provoking thought! Will you agree with everything I have to say? I hope not, because if you do then only one of us is thinking, and trust me I think all the time! I do not want to be a guru, or someone that you come to for advice. I am not a life coa... more »ch or a motivational speaker, and have no desire to become one. I do not have all the answers and have never claimed to. However, I do know what it is like to be miserable, and living without passion. I also know exactly what it is like to be genuinely happy, and fully present in the moment. Trust me on this one, if you do not remember anything else in this book remember this: it is much better to follow your passion and work harder than you have ever worked in your life, then to sit back in a cushy job and be a minimalist for the rest of your life. Embrace the struggle, the person you will become in the process is worth the necessary suffering. The struggle is where you know yourself fully! There are three main categories to this book. Section one covers what self-help gurus should be telling you. Section two is my favorite section and covers the importance of taking self inventory, and being brutally honest with yourself and others. Section three covers my thoughts on success and happiness. There are very few unique ideas in this book if any. Much of it is common sense that has been forgotten, while other ideas are things that I have learned from studying all the great religions and philosophies in college, and through my many life experiences. Everything that one needs to know about how to succeed, and evolve in life has been said, and definitely has been articulated better than me. That being said, it can never be emphasized enough, and the more you see, hear, and feel it, the better. Mahatma Gandhi once said that, ?Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.? If one of the greatest men of all time thinks what he did to revolutionize a country is insignificant, you can imagine where you and I fall on the spectrum of importance. This is something to remember when we live our lives consumed by our illusions of grandeur. Regardless, we all have a duty and getting my story to you is part of my duty. What you choose to do with it is your duty. 100% of profit from book sales will be going to two fantastic organizations.
