Society has forced on us values that just makes no sense. Some of these values just doesn’t do anyone any good. You can read books, use affirmations, go to self help seminars and use whatever other tools are out there to help you progress to a “better person”, but in the end you are trying to multi million rand house in an informal settlement. It’s just not supposed to be. In the end, you’re just playing with yourself.
Why must you be a person that works from 8 to 5? Who decides to normal acceptable behavior is? Why do we look down at people with little money and up to people with lots of money? Why do we want to drive that fancy car?
Self destruction might sound very bad and counter productive, and it goes against all the self help books that are out there. Some times it’s better to just break yourself down to the very core and start with the basics. The more books you’ve read, and the further you are with your self help affirmations, the more difficult this will be. Therefore it’s better to take a look at yourself sooner and consider what your core values are. For each of the values you have been taught, consider how it is helping you, holding you back or hindering your progress to the future. Keep the ones that really helping you, and dump the ones that are just in your way.
It’s not as difficult as it might seem in the beginning. You just need to ask yourself questions and question yourself and your believes. That is how you find out who your are.
I came about writing this because I heard the quote “Self Improvement is masturbation, self destruction is the answer” in the Fight Club movie, and upon searching and reading a few articles on the Internet, it actually provides much more than meets the eye. Check out other Fight Club Quotes.
