I keep cutting out bits of articles from magazines which give excellent advice, tips, things to ponder on and it is all sound advice.  Thing is, it did actually make me think.  Does anyone ever really make changes, in particular, long-term changes to the way they live or think based on anything they have read in self-help articles?  Advice to live in the moment, to let things go, to not worry, to not procrastinate, yada yada yada.  When you read anything in a calm state, of course you think, 'great advice', but when you are in a dark place, trust me, the last thing you are remembering, is 'that' article.
