Why we read Self Enrichments articles and books

The other day i was chatting with a friend and he told me he doesn’t like to read self-enrichments or motivational books or articles because he taught those people who do have low self esteems or problems and they needed help.

Well i hope no one else thinks like that because let me tell you why some of us love to read Self-Enrichments articles and books.

1) You need it as a push factor in life
2) It improves your behavior and personality
3) It gives you different perspective in life
4) It will not let you give up in whatever you are pursuing

Who/what are your motivations? Your spouse, your children, your family…and sometimes you need to read to remind you that you have these people/things (because hey, we’re human. We tend to be ungrateful sometimes)

You learnt new things, new approach, new self development.
When you read about other people’s successful stories, you learnt their struggles and hard work.

I understand some people have their own opinion but i would say we have to be more open minded and look at the good things of other people’s interests.

Sometimes its just under your nose

I have talked bout Visualization in last post but i never mention about the Vision Board. Well if you have seen or read The Secret there is one part where they talked about the Vision Board.

The Vision Board is a section where you put up your dreams. i.e. dream car, dream house, dream job…etc. you can have a Vision Book too to write bout them.

Well i am going to share with you about my own.

At my work desk, i have this small corner besides my pc monitor which i called “My Little Fashion Corner”. I have pictures of pretty models modelling clothes, bags, shoes…etc. but all of them are pics of beauty shots or full shots. I have it since long time ago i can’t remember. I know i have always liked modelling but i figured because i’m short so i don’t really bother asking myself whether thats what i want to do in life. and i thought that when i do TV Commercials and Print ads, its more like a hobby to a passion.

Not until i realized why i put the pics up and put more and more and study their poses everytime i stare at them. that little section in my office IS my Vision Board.

And i’m happy to announce that after years of searching, i finally found my Passion in life. How and will i be successful in pursuing it? i dont know but now that i know what my target is, i will work towards it.

Thank you Ms. Jade

One fine day at work i was quite free to read more self-enrichments articles and successful stories. And it was then i googled “petite models” just to see who are making big names as a ‘small-size’ girl in the fashion scenes.

I found a blog. Dedicated to aspiring petite models and written by one

Her name is Isobella Jade. She is now my idol. Standing only 5’3 but she’s a supermodel in NYC. Isobella has inspired me in many ways. Not only i got tips on how to be a professional petite model but its also how you push yourself and work hard hard hard to be someone you want to be.

She has her own Radio Talk Show, Youtube videos (tips), illustrated novel/comic ‘Model life’ and memoir Almost 5’4. I just reserved the book, getting it after CNY!

Believe in yourself, it will take you places.
