6 self-help gurus to set you straight and rewire your mind.

Hello and welcome to Nick’s letters issue number 63.

A big wave to the new subscribes.

Let us get straight to work.

There is a lot of mental illness in the world of today that me not talking about it would be unfair. Everyone including myself was or is at one point a victim or a survivor with or without being aware about it.

In past letters like this one, we have already established that the natural state of the world is mental illness. That is why everyone of us must play their part to defeat the world powers, heal and achieve clarity of mind and energy of will.

My investigation has led me to the bedrock of all mental illness. And I have even concluded the way to heal from these illness as I am going to show you in this letter.

Swiss psychiatrist and healer Carl Jung through his voluminous works was the one who brought this light and sense to me.

He once said: “Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering. By the way, neurosis is a term that also means mental illness. I like to think that mental illness comes when people avoid facing necessary challenges. Basically, laziness is at the route of mental illness.

To add on that, I recently met a black American insta auntie whose name I cant recall. According to what I heard, mental illness is a result of lack of clarity. In short, living in constant noise and chaos automatically causes mental illness. And that is something I agree with. Definitely, something some of you hot and sexy Nick’s letters readers would agree with.

In other words, our minds have been bent and conditioned into chaos and laziness. And this breeds fear and anxiety in us. We then lead unhappy and unfulfilled lives because of failure to take required action to get our lives moving.

Because of our laziness and life’s chaos, we end up living a bad and ugly life. We then come up with fancy psychology terms to make it look ok. Yet in truth, if we just train our minds to focus and consciously act no matter the challenges we may have, non of these mental issues would ever exist.

The bad news is that these illness will always exist. Because guess what? The world powers are never going to stop attacking our minds and manufacturing trauma. And what that means is that the soul of the world will require years if not centuries to stop bleeding.

But there’s some good news. We now have self help Gurus to turn to for guidance on holistic healing. They may not necessarily heal us. But their philosophy is life changing if you dare study and apply what they teach. Their words are true and lifechanging. As true and life changing as the words of hendsam man from galilee plains known as jesus christ.

Anyway, these gurus are what we find in the self help industry or self help economy. The self help industry is wild. It is already in the billions of dollars. There, we see people talking about and helping others to deal with life’s problems through returning clarity and meaningful work to their lives, at a fee of course. In this world of self help, you find a lot of gurus. But now guess what? 99 percent of the self hep gurus are clueless. They are parroting information from the old masters without showing the realistic application to our lives.

Furthermore, these days, self help books which are supposed to help us help ourselves tend to be flattering instead of setting us straight. You may also have heard of the softness culture which promotes people to take things easy in life. It is as if things should be easy. As if life itself was easy, god!

How can we heal anyway?

If the root of mental illness is laziness, or lack of clarity, then the most reasonable solution to this problem lies in simply finding the right motivation to work on yourself and get shit done. The modern psychiatry room is missing on this thing because they tend to promote useless therapy and softness. I would like to report to you that healing is hard. But we are going to engage in it until we win. By the time we return to the soil, we are going to be fully developed individuals who have experienced true life enjoyment and fulfilled our life’s task.

And so, here are 6 of the most influential gurus with realistic motivation that can free our minds. Read one or two or all of them and fill your brain with their ideas to see yourself make impressive progress and overcome worldwide soul sickness.

1. Take a dose of Earl Nightingale.

I like calling him the dean of self development.

Let me give you a quote from his talk called the strangest secret.

“People simply don’t think.”

The point of action for us here is to cultivate our thinking capabilities. You may ask yourself how we can do that. Reading, writing, and meditating are the medicine of the mind. Most people have not yet discovered this. When you intentionally do these acts over and over again, you are going to become a thinker. You are going to liberate your mind. And then start finding solutions instead of going to vent and doing nothing about your problems. That is how we heal from mental sickness. Becoming people who can think.

Earl also adds this: “We become what we think.”

That means if we think negatively we get negative results. If we think positive thoughts, we get positive outcomes out of life. It is these positive thoughts that promote personal progress and free us from mental illness by the way. You see, long before I started writing these letters, I had been thinking about it for months. And so, you are reading this letter because I decided to think positively. Had I not acted on my thoughts, I’d probably be writing for people who don’t care about my message on social media and whatsapp.

On to the next one!

2. Unfuck yourself with Mark Manson.

It is common to hear people in the mental health movement talking about happiness. Many of them think that happiness comes from pleasure. What they don’t understand is that happiness does not come from pleasure. Happiness comes from progress. As Mark Manson taught me, happiness is the ability to solve problems. How then is netflix and chill with alcohol and junk food while wearing rainbow pants going to make you happy?

According to Mark, chasing pleasure is never going to make us happy. In fact, it only makes us lazy promoting mental illness. Mark Manson is to be believed. Period. Let us unfuck ourselves.

3. Neville Goddard.

"Your imagination is able to do all that you ask in proportion to the degree of your attention. All progress, all fulfillment of desire depend upon the control and concentration of your attention." -The power of awareness. (1952)

This quote by Neville Goddard emphasizes the power of focused attention and imagination in achieving personal goals. In short, we have 2 tools to help us get out of the worldwide menace. They are these: Imagination, and attention. Look at these as simply thinking and then keeping your attention on those thoughts long enough to turn them into reality through action. Let us use these tools!

4. Robert Green

Cultivate self awareness. Understand how people work and how the world runs. That’s the formula of freedom.

5. Jordan Peterson.

Build a daily routine, read, write and avoid the bad drugs like alcohol. Short and clear. In our culture of today, many people live life on autopilot with lack of mental exercise and creativity while praising the devil’s juice. That is why we have the mental illness pandemic. The Canadian doc uncle Jordan has brought us a practical solution.

6. A moment with Naval Ravikant.

Naval is going to teach you one big lesson.

The lesson: How to make money and become wealthy without relying on what schools taught you. Maybe you went to school and got a job but you still struggle with the job. You discover you don’t even like the job. The job no longer is challenging you. His lesson is that you can turn yourself into a product and sell yourself to the world for profits.

And the good thing is that you will not have to sell your soul. You will instead sell your mind without loosing yourself. What I mean is that you will sell your experiential knowledge (the information you have learned through experience.) This type of knowledge is always unique to you.

I know that finding your uniqueness and using it to solve other people’s problems will make money come to you. Whether you went to public school or not. I can confirm. As a beginner in the personal brand business, I am selling my marketing and fitness skills to people who need them and can afford me. It works!

There you go…

As the headline goes, these gurus can set you free from the world wide sickness. And the common thing here is to go against the normal society. Because society is always promoting chaos and laziness while praising laziness disguised as softness. The ideas shared by these gurus and the legacy they built or are building are not for those of us already winning or ready to win. Immersing yourself in their philosophy and applying it to your life is the way of the mentally free man who knows how to progress in life resulting in a happier and fulfilled society.

THE END.
