Default Inferiority Complex

I have to admit that when I first read about this, given what I've expressed about my situation so far on this forum.. I was pretty put off, having the mentality of 'the rich helping the rich get richer'.

But now that I've let it marinate a little, I think that view is a cop out. It made me feel that since I can't afford it I'm not good enough to even be considered.. which isn't true. The way I react is all on me, their my feelings of inferiority no one else's and it's up to me to realize it.

Not that I was planning on hiring a life coach, although I think I would benefit.. but then I'd rather get a reading instead

$500 or not.. the shift comes from within.. no matter what anyone else says or does inspired by sound practice and experience or pure instinct and ESP.. it all comes down to the individual taking responsibility for themselves. When it comes right down to it there is only so much a teacher or advisor can do - all the work has to be down by the individual... who has to act and believe in themselves.

I think the best anyone in a position of wanting to help others can hope for is to inspire. In Steve's example, just look at all the information here that there is to work with.. it's so much.. anyone can do whatever they want with it whether it's nothing or making the most of it.
