Not at all.. there's nothing wrong with growing personally. I actually was in the same boat you were in with my friends and family upon discovering the movie "The Secret"
It had everything I wanted to hear and whenever I'd talk, my conversations would always be something of the following: "well in the secret it says to do this" or "the secret says to do that." I was so zealous about that movie that it did put me in a dangerous position, to blindly accept everything The Secret said from there on as fact without testing it against any other sources, and a lot of times without even testing it with my own intuition.
Steve's a really great guy and your girlfriend might really support the fact that you are trying to grow personally. Most women want a man who seeks personal growth, but she might be worried that you talk too much about Steve and your attitude conveys he can say/do no wrong thing.
I challenge you, and I'm sure Steve would as well, to form your own opinions and do your own research on the topics discussed on the website. Question everything. Take Steve's articles and rework them to work better for you.
One cool journaling method I like is taking Steve's article on a particular subject and then totally rewriting some parts for my personal use only.  |
