As I have been telling my readers and visitors for many years, self-help is the best help. We\u2019ll go into the details of exactly why in just a moment. But first, a word of caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-help books, podcasts and videos are everywhere, but they are not all equal. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here, to guide you how to make the most of the potential within you to help yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it, no one knows you as you do. But even so, self help is also about becoming more self aware. There is always plenty that we don\u2019t know about ourselves. Self help materials, such as worksheets, books, audios and downloads aim to aid us in this search for inner wisdom. But how can you best use these resources to find out more about yourself and to begin to succeed in self development?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self help is the best help because it doesn\u2019t just offer advice, it offers perspective and is highly educational. Self help books, podcasts and audios can teach you how to handle challenges and social interactions with greater success and give you an opportunity to explore your feelings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we continue to look more closely at why self help is the best help, here is my top tip if you are looking to build your self esteem and confidence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People Who Are in Control of Their Lives Do the Following Things Differently<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“I am the captain of my soul.” <\/p>William Ernest Henley. Poem entitled “Invictus”. <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You can read or listen to the full poem Invictus<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quote above can be interpreted in many different ways. But, in general, it means that you are in control of your own destiny. It may not always feel like it, but it’s true. Self-help is inspirational and can motivate you to take control of your thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thoughts on this poem are that it supports the powerful notion of self help as the best help because it declares that you are the captain, not just of your fate but of your soul. For me, the soul is your inner being, the part of you that is beyond your physical body. It is the very essence of who and what you are. So, you are responsible and in charge of where you go and what you become. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t lose sight of your own power to self heal, to help yourself. You are not a slave to the events of your life, the accidents, or to others. If you understand the power of self help and the potential within you, and if you use this well, then you truly are the captain of your soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have mistakes; things about ourselves that we are not proud of. But, at the end of the day, you need to recognize your flaws and make the necessary changes to become a better person. A person who is truly living life to its fullest potential. This is only possible with reflection and guidance whether that comes from another person or a self help book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who are in control of their lives do the following things differently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
