Why do you think you are always right?" Asks a dumb person that can't understand why I make a living as a self-help author or why she is wasting my time and I will never speak to her ever again.

About This Quote

People ask me this question because they are dumb. I am often asked why I write the things that I do. This is a question that can be asked by someone who has no idea what psychology or self-help is. The answer in this case would be to help people in their lives.

They are in pain and they want to know how to get out of it. The answer would be to help them get out of their pain and get on with their life. I know the answer because I have been doing something about my pain for years now. I have found ways to relieve myself of the pain that I have suffered for years now through my writing, through my coaching, through my speaking engagements, and even through my relationships with others. Sometimes people say this to me because they are trying to get their own ego stroked.

They want me to tell them how great they are or how smart they are simply because they ask questions that make them feel important or intelligent. Asking me questions like this makes the person feel smart so I must be smart too...right? Wrong!
