For the past three years, I have been reading a personal development book everyday for at least an hour, no exceptions! One of the most influential books I have read is by author/speaker Brian Klemmer, titled
If How-To's Were Enough We Would All be Skinny, Rich and Happy... Long title, but right to the point.
Have you noticed all of the "How-To" books that are at the book store? There is a "how-to" for everything these days. Simple steps to follow that will make you a millionaire, a better lover, get out of debt, take better photos, etc. Do they really work though? Well to get right to the point of Brian Klemmer's book, if How-To's really were enough, then we all really would be skinny, rich, and happy. But the truth is that they don't work!
The reason that they don't work is that people have a hard time with commitment, an intention! If I asked you right now to cross the room, each way a different way, you could do it for a while. You would walk across, run, jump, backward, cartwheel, crawl, etc. But sooner or later, you would run out of different ways to cross. Ok, now if I offered you $1,000 to keep going…
