Motivational books?

[WinterHold]

I've been a self help book addict since I was 15. I'm 28 now. They're the only books I really buy. I have tried to quit because none of them have ever helped me ever even remotely. But sometimes every few years I get depressed and desperate and buy one anyway and it reminds me that all I've done is wasted my money.

One of many of the self-help books I bought over the years.

It tells me to feel the fear and do it anyway but telling me to do that never gets me to actually do it.

There are so many things I know I should do but I struggle to do them. That's why I need help with motivation in the first place.

Over the years I keep thinking I'm going to find some self-help book that offers advice that isn't already obvious and that actually impacts my life.

Nope.

And most of them say the same things anyway.

If you can't make your life any better, just help others so they live a better life.
And that would be your motivation, right there.

I don't use these books, I used to follow motivation pages on social media; though. There were stuff that made me feel better about myself in the morning.

But the rule is (what really matters): help those who don't hurt and bite. Love yourself so you don't get chopped by negativity, a beast might bite at first but becomes your friend at the end; a chance one should not waste. 

And that's your motive right there.
