Unsolicited Testimonials - Your Feedback

About SelfHelpCollective.com - what You say...

To 'Summarise'...

This is one of my favourite testimonials for SelfHelpCollective.com. I like it because it sums up what I was trying to achieve when I first conceived of the site back in Feb/March 2008 (read my site building diary if you'd like to see how this site came to be). The fact that Lam was much more able to articulate what I was trying to do in a way that I hadn't really appreciated was just a bonus, really. Thank you Lam.

"Hi Steve! I dropped by your site by following your profile after you commented on my blog and I must say that I was quite pleasantly surprised! I really love your "guru-free" ideals.

"So often, I see people chasing after the latest self-help fad/guru and it seems to me that they are merely trying to fill some void for a parental figure to give them what they never got during their upbringing. But your site embraces the fact that we are capable adults with the cognitive and emotional ability to heal ourselves and filter through the myriad of different messages to find what suits us best and what centers us most. I love that you trust that at our core is joy and health and that we don't have to be defined by our pathology.

"To be our own guides means that we have to accept that we did not have adequate guides or that we had those who misguided us. It also means having to mourn the loss of hope that someone will come and save us. But you structure your paradigm in such a positive manner, so that it's not about loss but about the celebration of our own individual potential. It's a wonderful message!"

Of course, it is all so Buddhist in nature, which I very much appreciate."

Thank for your time and effort on your site!"

And this is a testimonial that is, how shall I put it, less favoured. It's from my youngest sister, and to be fair to her, she's not into self-help. And if you're not into self-help Julie's words may well resonate. I'm including Julies words because my site is not for everybody - it's not even for everybody who's into self-help - and that message is important for me to spread. I do not have all the answers, and neither does my site - I just wanted to provide a place where like-minded people could recognise their own worth

"Wow...wasn't sure what to think of all this self-help business... Bit full on self help - hug yourself thing going on. Not my cup of tea, bit OTT for my taste. However, as usual site looks well made and does do what it says in its title, lots of appropriate and good/apt quotes etc. What sort of response have you got? I know you say your not a Guru, but I'm not going to turn up at your house and find you in a kaftan sitting on the floor with hairy people, chanting and sharing 'deep' personal experiences, drinking home made herbal tea am I, if so warn me and i'll bring some home made cake!"
-- Julie, UK

Thank you Julie for what you have to say. And now, let's see what a whole load of (mostly) strangers have to say about SelfHelpCollective.com...




Comments About The 'Collective'

May 18th, 2008
"I find it interesting that 'self-help' in this site's sense is actually 'collective' help and confirms my belief that 'true' change is only possible in exchange with others (actual self-help is possible only if inspired, supported, affirmed, enriched by the knowledge, input, contribution, presence, knowledge of others, even if that's just through a book, because it is somebody's book you bought!)"
-- Filo, UK
(Professional psychotherapist)

June 16th, 2009
"According to Guru Pitka (how I love Mike Myers), Guru stands for: 'Gee, You Are You!' So, we each are our own guru... trying to recognize that myself! Thanks for creating a supportive, helpful, and fun collective - will be sure to return for more inspiration. Peace!"
Mariah, USA

About Happiness

Feb 5th, 2009
"Happiness was something I felt after clicking on your video link LemonJelly aka... Going on reading on your homepage I was even more happy.

"After the thick butter bread with Rasberry and the kiss I started to halucinate and then, then I remembered 2003 when I was very much in love and felt loved. That short time overseas was a time of happiness, indeed. Even in drabbest weather I found the world around me absolutely wonderful. I noticed things like the dancing of the sun on dry autumn leaves and much more.
I need not be in company on principle to be taken by happiness. I experience it early on a sun up when Canary birds opposite my apartment greet the spring morning.

"Amazing that reading a few lines in your homepage brought back so many good moments without turning my memories into sadness."

Gabriele Muellenberg, Spain
http://www.tenerife-holiday-home-insider.com

Feb 25, 2005
"Dear Steve, thanks again for your lovely site. My head is "stuffy" with news for days now... It's on the radio, & TV and on the streets.. I come to your site, and it all empties out of my head and I can find some peace and a smile too. Being unemployed is only magnified with the busy news of the US and the World. I visit your site, and i can focus and find harmony. This enables me to work on my studies, and my hobbies of photograhy and music,( I am a vocalist)My hobbies help me relax in these very stress-filled times."
Tracey Lee Tillman, USA

Comments From SBI! Site Owners

(Note: SelfHelpCollective.com was conceived and created using an internet business-building software service called Site Build It! or SBI!. And the following comments come from other owners of SBI! sites! And you can learn more about how I came to build (yet another) self-help website in my site-building diary, here!)

Nov 6th, 2008
"I am REALLY enjoying your site! I am also totally envious at how beautifully you have put it together. As a fellow site-build-it person, I am impressed and inspired. Keep it up!!!!"

"Your site REALLY looks great! And the fun you're having with it comes through too!"

-- Gavin Hoole, South Africa

Aug 4th, 2009
"I read a lot of stuff on your site Steve, while I followed the links you sent me. And what absolutely floored me was the casual, friendly and disarming style in which you wrote everything. I was taken aback by it for a while, and then as i read and read on I found your site genuinely endearing. :)..."
-- Meghashyam Chirravoori
http://personal-development-is-fun.com

Nov 16th, 2009
"Steve, your site is a total distraction! I have joined SBI and am at stage of registering domain name. Today, I made a point of visiting a lot of SBI websites and was about to give it all up were it not for the eye catching design of your Home Page. Your site looks great - really professional and interesting. It has lured me away from what I am supposed to be doing - researching the forums for help! It is one distraction (i.e. your content and presentation) that I will bookmark and return to when I get over the hump with my own site."
-- Eamonn Cox, Ireland




And these last comments are not really testimonials, they are what you - the collective - say, about particular issues...

What You Say...

10th Oct, 2008
"I have long been wanting to improve my communication skills but I wonder why I find it hard to do and your reasons like scared to hurt people feelings when you disagree with them and don't know how to react on sensitive topics or when critize are all correct.
"There's only one thing more I like to add. Being confident on yourself and comfortable with the person affects your level of communication skills."

Badette Velasvo, Australia

11th June, 2008
"I'm not sure about knowing ourselves completely. I'm not sure it's possible - and if it was I'm not sure it would be desirable.
"I guess for me self-development is about bringing all of me to what is important to me.
"I think goals may be a problem. Sometimes we choose the wrong goal."
