good approach to have some results but it implies that you need to be guided constantly.. ofcouse its good to have a guide/couch in everything for your first steps. to show you the basics so you dont "waste" your time and too much effort reinventing the weel.
Now if you have failed having results eventhough you have read many self improvent articles/guieds propably this article wont solve your problem or you wont have lasting results.. the problem in my opinion is deeper.. is that you have this need to show you from someone wich step to make.. what to do next. to put you in a framework so you dont slack and loose your way to success. you are waiting from someone else to do the hard work for you! in essence you dont step on your own feet. you want someone else to take your hand and put it in a big jar of honey. you dont grab the bull by its "things". my suggestion is not to stop doing personal develomnt since it can help you bring facts to awareness.. so the problem is not that all those articles faild to make you to change.. the role of a guide (in that case all those articles) is not to take you by the hand or even better carry you and take you to the land of success. that's what you expect from these articles/guides/coaches and that why you fail. nobody owes you that so difficult task.. the guide or the coach are there to show which path not to take.. how to take steps not to take the steps for you.. so now stop bitching and keep moviing towards your mission.. put that framework of habits on your own and start having results.
