who started it all Luciano Passuello and his post Tackling Any Issue With A List Of 100
So here I am with 100 Ways to Develop Your Mind
1. Do the Thing You Fear the Most.
If there’s one thing that will change your thoughts quicker than anything else, it’s facing your fears.2. Stand up For Yourself
A lot of people have difficulty in standing up for themselves. The first time you do it can be very empowering and your thoughts about yourself will change forever. See Dealing With Confrontation3. Stop Talking
It’s great to be silent for just a little while. Our thoughts turn inward and we begin to appreciate ourselves just a little more.4. Strengthen Your Strengths
Sometimes we focus too much on trying to strengthen our weaknesses when we should be concentrating on strengthening our strengths.5. Take A Walk Around an Art Gallery
You might not appreciate art or participate in it but it’s great to see the thoughts of others on canvas. It can give us a tiny glimpse of what goes on in other people’s minds.6. Blindfold Yourself for a Day
Walk in the shoes of a blind person for 1 full day, it will forever change the way you think about life.7. Stand on a Chair for 5 Minutes Per Day
Building self discipline is a great way to take control of your mind and your thoughts. If you just get up and stand on a sturdy chair your mind will be wondering what the hells going on and try and force you to get off the chair. Disciplining your mind is a great way to start changing your life. See Self Discipline8. Dance When There’s Nobody There
It’s a strange sensation to dance on your own, although when I have done this I look like a dog having a seizure, nonetheless it’s a great way to let go of your inhibitions.9. Give Money to Someone Unexpectedly
Whether it be on the internet, or in the street, just give a larger than normal donation to someone. This again is liberating and your thoughts about money will change for a few moments (that’s all it takes to start the process of changing your life.)10. Strengthen Your Thoughts About Yourself
Reinforce your thoughts about your good points. If you are good at talking to people, tell yourself this often. If you are good at maths, tell yourself often. This has the benefit of reinforcing and strengthening your self image.11. Take A Risk
Life would be boring without ever having taken a risk in your life. Do something that you didn’t want to do because you thought you wouldn’t be any good at it. This totally smashes the boundaries of your comfort zone and your life could change forever. Read This Post by Robin Easton12. Talk To A Stranger
Again this is breaking our comfort zones, but just saying hi to stranger in the street or good morning can have an enormous impact on your day and the person you said hi to.13. Walk Around The House Naked
I can almost feel the shock at this. I don’t mean when you’ve got guests in, I mean when everybody is out. Lock the door and totally liberate yourself and your thinking of what’s right and what’s wrong. I wouldn’t advise doing it all the time, but from time to time, it’s a great feeling.14. Read A Book By An Author You Most Avoid
reading books by authors we avoid gives us a chance to take control of our minds and lets us see another side to our thinking. We’ve got to ask why we avoid them in the first place, is it something within us that we are avoiding?15. Write An Article About Yourself
Imagine a newspaper has asked you to write an article of 1000 words or less about yourself and your life and they want to know what motivates you in life, now write the article. This helps put your life into some perspective and gets you thinking about your childhood and growing up.16. Stop Contact With Your Down People
If you have people in your life who constantly drag you down, or are negative all the time, drop them. Honestly drop them from your life, you are not serving them and they are not serving you and they are dragging your thoughts down. Read This Post by Dan And jennifer17. Believe In Yourself
A lot of people believe their life has been pre-destined and there’s nothing we can do to change it – absolute rubbish. YOU are the only person who controls the universe, yes I did mean universe. Your universe is different from mine so you control your own universe, think about that and start acting upon it.18. Meditate Every Day
Another powerful thing that has the power to change your life and your thinking for good. Retreating into your mind for a few minutes every day will do you a power of good. Read How To Meditate19. Ask For A Discount
When you buy anything from a shop that is over $100, ask for a discount. Tell the salesman you’d like a 10% discount on the item. Most people are so afraid of doing this but it’s a great way to empower yourself and let go of another inhibition, what’s the worst that can happen?20. Risk Embarrassment
Imagine if you had seen the person of your dreams on a bus, or at the store and you didn’t do anything about it how much would you kick yourself. If this happens to you, do something about it, don’t keep it hidden. Just say to them you thought you would come over and say how attractive they looked and felt you had to tell them. You never know what will happen and how much your life could be changed. Obviously don’t turn into a weirdo and do it with every good looking person on the street.21. Work Toward, What You Think, Is An Impossible Goal
If you work toward a goal without expectation you don’t care about the outcome as much. When you don’t care about the outcome, you don’t have as much expectation.22. Practice Gratitude
We all know what we don’t have in our lives because we spend a lot of time wishing we had them, but are we really thankful for what we have? Spend time every single day being thankful for the good things we do have in our lives. read The Post at ZenHabits on Gratitude23. Do Something Nice And Don’t Tell Anyone About It
We tell others about our acts of kindness to let them know how nice we are and to seek approval. If you keep your act of kindness to yourself without ever telling anyone the feeling of positive energy lasts much longer.24. Share Your Skills
Everybody has a skill of some kind. When you share it you not only have the power to help others, but you enhance your own skill by owning it.25. Don’t Talk Just Listen
Enhance your listening skills by not talking when someone is speaking to you. Resist the urge to speak your views when someone is talking to you, just listen to them and ask them more open ended questions at the appropriate times. This has two benefits: a) You can really listen if you are not formulating the stories in your own head when someone is talking b) you will make the other person feel great as you are actively listening to them.26. Write Your Future Life Story
Start from the age you are just now and start writing your future life story as you’d like it to be. Be as outrageous as you want and just write about your ideal life and how you interact with it. Words on paper are powerful and can help shape your goals.27. Give Someone A Gift For No Reason
We always assume someone buys us a gift for a reason whether it be a birthday, christmas or special occasion. Buy someone a gift just because you know they would like it.28. Pass On Your Good Books
If you’ve read a book and it changed your thinking or life in some way, pass it on to someone else who might benefit.;29. Spend More Time With Your Kids
Your kids will grow up very quickly, spend as much time as you can with them.30. Forgive Behavior
The way we behave doesn’t necessarily reflect our true thoughts. Remember this when someone acts out of character and behaves in a way you don’t approve of.31. Allow Yourself To Be A Lazy Git
We are so used to filling our time with useful things to do and being productive we have forgotten the art of laziness. Being lazy is good every ONCE IN A WHILE and it allows our mind to slow down and relax.32. What Is Your Best Quality Today
Every morning for 10 seconds just state, out loud if you can, what your best quality is. Try and change it every day. This reinforces your strengths and weakens your perceived weaknesses.33. Write A Comment
If you visit a blog you like, leave a comment and join in the community of people. Or, if there is not much of a community, be part of starting it.34. Tell Your Friends And Colleagues How Good They Are
If a friend or colleague does something good, tell them how good they are at that particular task. This reinforces someone else strengths or strengthens their weaknesses and makes them feel good about themselves.35. Make A Video Of Yourself And Post It To Youtube
Why on earth would you do this? Just because you can!36. List All Your Worries
Make a list of every single worry you have at the moment. You will notice that you don’t have as many worries as you thought. Worrying consumes our thinking and we think our whole life is one big worry. When you get it down on paper it’s extremely surprising that you don’t have as many as you’d thought.37. Work On Each Worry In Turn
Now that you have all your worries listed. Go through them and start acting on them in turn. If you find worries you cannot act upon it means there is nothing you can do to change the outcome of that worry, so forget it, why waste mind energy on something you cannot control at all? Read This Post for More Info38. Read About Successful People
If you want to change your thoughts and change your life read about people who have already done it and use them as guides.39. Tweet Your Moods
If you use twitter why not tweet your moods daily and see if there is some kind of pattern after a few months.40. Stop Watching Soaps
Soap operas actually have the power to alter your state of mind. People get so caught up in the emotions of the soap that they experience what the actors and actresses are doing.41. Have A News Break
What would happen if you never read a newspaper for a week? nothing at all, your life wouldn’t change, you wouldn’t run out of things to talk about, you would still be as up on the world as everyone else. Newspapers sell because of their doom and gloom, read it and you are buying into it.42. Do Something Spontaneous
Jump on a bus without looking at the destination, book a holiday, take time off work, take your partner away, buy your kids a gift; do anything and make sure it’s out of character, (expand that boundary).43. Write To An Author
Authors are people just like you and I and they love getting feedback about their work. If a book touched you in some way or changed you, take time to write to the author and thank them. Don’t look for a reply, just thank them.44. Follow your instincts
We don’t trust ourselves nearly enough as we should. Follow your instincts more and pay attention to the signals your body is picking up and see where it takes you. You might find that your conscious brain gets in the way of your body signals a lot of the time. Read This Post for More Info45. If You Find Some Money Give It To Charity
If you find money in the street don’t pocket it, give it to someone who is homeless or better yet buy them a meal with it. If it’s a suitcase full of money, that’s obviously a different story.46. Your Thoughts Really Do Have Power
When you realize this, it will change your thinking in so many ways. I can’t tell you that it’s true you have to experience it for yourself.47. Always Admit It When You Have Made A Mistake
Don’t blame others or hide behind someone else. Hold your hands up and admit you made a mistake, no matter what the consequences are. You will be much more respected this way. However, don’t take the blame for others.48. Do Something Every Day To Improve Your Mind
Learn a new word, do an anagram puzzle, sudoku your mind, read a book, read a stimulating blog post, anything that will help your mind just a little. Just a little turns into something huge.49. Change Your Thinking Style
If something is not working out, try and change your thinking style and come at it from another angle. This is true of everything in life.50. What Do You Really Want To Do In Life
You will find most people cannot answer this question simply because they are plodding along with life. When you know what you really want to do with your life then your life takes another path. read This Post by Dragos Roua51. Pass On Your Knowledge
Knowledge is for sharing, let others know what you know if it’s appropriate.52. Ask For What You Want In Life
If you don’t ask you won’t get. Asking for your wants puts it out there. I mean literally ask and metaphorically ask. When you want a big house or a mansion, ask out loud and send it out there. When you want the smaller things in life, ask for them from people who can give you them. Always pay it forward.53. When Someone Does You A Good Turn Pay It Forward
If you receive a compliment, thank the person and look for an opportunity to give someone else a compliment. If you receive a gift, give a gift to someone else at an opportune time.54. Always Have A Good Breakfast
We underestimate the power of food to keep our brains healthy and our minds alive with energy. If you don’t eat that much, make sure you have a good breakfast to set you up for the day. Read this post on eating by Vin Miller55. What Would People Say About You If You Died
This is not a morbid thought, but I often think about what people would say about me at my funeral. The thing is the ones who might say something bad, I can’t really not invite because I’ll be dead. However, the important people are ones I would care about most and I would like to develop my life’s values based on what people would say about me at my funeral; he was a caring man, he was a family man, he always told the truth no matter how hard it might seem, he had integrity etc.56. Sing Your Heart Out
I love to sing, I hopeless at it, but I love it. We have a radio station over in the UK called gold http://www.mygoldmusic.co.uk/ and it plays music from the 60s, 70s and 80s and I sing at the top of my voice as there is always something on that’s good. My sons are not very pleased about it though
57. Love The One You’re With
Always let your partner know how much you love them by telling them and showing them. This way your mind is focused on them for at least part of the day.58. Pacing Whilst Studying
This has helped me a lot over the years. I paced my way through university. My theory is that the body and mind is being stimulated with the exercise you are doing whilst walking, this makes the blood flow. Blood flow to the brain help you to study and remember.59. Make New friends
Whether it be online or offline. Keeping yourself busy socially is stimulating for the mind and lets you see the world from others peoples perspective.60. Make Love Regularly
Releasing the feel good chemicals, endorphins, into your bloodstream is a great way to stimulate the mind. I have to admit to feeling much more creative after making love.61. Listen To Music
This stimulates the mind and can have tremendous benefits for your thoughts, therefore your life. I love listening to Baroque music whilst driving at night, I love rousing rock driving during the day and dance trance music at the weekend whist driving62. Listen To A Book Instead Of The Radio
Getting downloadable books from Amazon.com or Audible.com is a great way to spend long journeys and learn something at the same time.63. Have A Sleep In
I am not a big fan of sleeping longer than I have to, but sometimes it’s great to lie in bed for a few hours longer than normal. It helps the brain recuperate.64. Turn Off The TV
There’s nothing more brain numbing than having the TV on all day every day. Exercise your mind and read a book, or at least watch something educational. Read this post by Vin Miller65. Look For Evidence Of Your Beliefs
This will develop your mind and your critical thinking. If you look for evidence of your beliefs such as ‘what is the evidence that sea water is blue or green’, you’ll discover some great information on during your research.66. Take Micro Naps
Taking a micro nap for 10 minutes a few times a day does wonders for your brain energy. read this post on Micro Naps67. Travel Often
Travel really does broaden your horizons especially if you really get into the local food and culture.68. Tidy House Tidy Mind
There really is nothing better than clearing your house or office space to clear your mind. When the house is not tidy there is always a niggling at the back of your mind. When the house, office and workspace is totally clean and tidy it frees your mind to concentrate on work or your family at home. read this post at DumbLittleMan69. Exercise Your Mind Not Just Your Body
We all know the benefits of exercising the body but exercising the mind by doing crosswords, maths puzzles, playing chess, reading, anagrams, sudoku etc, all help to increase the minds capacity for learning.70. Read Philosophy
the beauty of philosophy is that there is no right and wrong. However, reading different philosophers views about the world will stimulate your mind. Read this post by Tim Ferris71. Ditch The Credit Card
We have forgotten how to wait for the things we want in life, if we see something we like we want it now and using a credit card is too easy. Make the object of your desire more precious by saving up for it. This will discipline your mind as well as your money spending habits.72. Watch A Motivational Video On Youtube First Thing In The Morning
This is a great way to start the day. Just type in motivational into youtube search box, sort by view count and watch a few videos.73. Keep Up To Date With New Theories
Whatever field you are interested in keep up to date with new theories and discoveries. New theories in psychology are especially interesting albeit quite thin on the ground.74. Take One Action Toward Your Goals Every Day
Your Self confidence, self esteem, and goals can only be reached by taking action. The more action you take the more your mind will help you to keep going.75. Never Let Your Mind Go Out Of Fashion
Keep up to date with the latest research on health, beauty and intelligence. Only those whose thoughts keep searching will stay intelligent for life.76. Confronting Your Stressors
Whatever you are stressed about the most tackle first. The less stress you have the less your mind has to cope with. Tackle the biggest stressors first and work your way down. Read this post by Jonathan Wells77. Drink Coffee And Tea
Despite evidence to the contrary coffee and tea have been shown to help the brain. Antioxidants and/or caffeine may help fight the onset of Alzheimer’s by 30-60% drinking 30 cups a day is obviously not good but 3-5 cups per day is okay.78. Carry Yourself With Confidence
People can tell by the way you walk if you are confident or not. Walk with purpose and have a purpose to walk. Read this post by Brandon Lindell79. Make Up Your Own Mind
When reading or listening to the news, do your own research and make up your own mind. The government and large corporations, whether deliberate or not, is a propaganda machine feeding you information to manipulate your thinking.80. Take Up Yoga
This is meant to be one of the best ways to relive stress and exercise both mind and body. watch this video to get you started81. Change Your Hands
Practice doing this with your less dominant hand. If you are right handed start doing things with your left hand and vice versa. If you are ambidextrous, start doing it with your feet
82. Eat Plenty Of Fish
There is an abundance on new evidence that eating fish is great for our brains and keeping them healthy.83. Reduce Your Alcohol Intake
I had to say this, I am an addiction worker. Don’t cut it out just reduce it to the recommended safe level.84. Quit The Smoking
Yep it can be one of the hardest drugs to give up but it is worth it. I feel so much better for giving up smoking and have a lot more energy than normal and my mind can function a lot better.85. Practice Deep Breathing
Getting plenty of oxygen to your brain is key for a healthy mind, deep breathing can help with this.86. Get A Dog/Cat
If you live alone why not go to one of the pet rescue centres and get a dog or a cat. People who have pets are shown to be less lonely, more active, and show fewer signs of stress. read this article by elizabeth Scott87. Break your Pattern
If you are the one who always goes shopping swap the routine with your partner. Or if you always go to a particular store, change it and go to the same store in another area. Do anything to break the patterns you have in life. This way your mind is kept more active.88. Try New Food
We have trained our palettes over the years and have gotten used to eating certain foods day in and day out. Try new foods and train your palette to eat better foods.89. Stimulate Your Brain By Going To A Concert
Whether it be a rock concert or am orchestral concert, getting out and hearing music live and being with people who enjoy the same music stimulates your mind and your emotions.90. Join An Internet Group
Join an internet discussion group to further your education on topics of interest. Want to start a business? join a group and get ideas for best practice. Want to know more about tropical fish? join a group. This educates your mind, gives you ideas and lets you meet people who are interested in the same topics as you.91. Volunteer To Help Others
Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community and help others learn the skills you have. Even if you don’t think you have skills you can still help someone out in your community just by talking or doing their shopping for 1 hour per week.92. Read The Tao Te Ching
Has to be one of the best books, in my opinion, for developing your mind. read this blog byNaoto Matsumoto93. Practice Patience
Waiting in queues, traffic jams, on a telephone call can be very frustrating sometimes. If you use the time to develop your mind and focus on your goals your frustration will dissipate very quickly. Use free time like this constructively instead of getting angry and putting yourself in a bad mood.94. Practice Divergent Thinking
This is the practice of looking for multiple solutions to problems or issues that arise in your life, whether they be at home or at work. Don’t judge your solutions just put them down on paper until you can’t think of any other ways. get others involved in this as well. Read this article on divergent thinking95. Put On A New Hat
Edward De Bono wrote a book called Six Thinking Hats in which he proposed you to put on a different, mental, hat for each area of your life. For example you put on your parent hat when talking to your kids, you can also put on your child hat for playing around with your kids. mentally putting on different hats allows you to better go in and out of different roles in your life.96. Stop trying To Multitask
Multitasking can’t be done except with unconscious processes such as walking and talking. If you try to consciously multitask like make the kids lunches, have a telephone conversation and try and get the kids ready for school it can’t be done nearly as effectively as doing each task separately. Multitasking stresses out minds and helps to produce bad results. read this article by Dave Crenshaw97. Write A Short Essay On The Books Your Read
Doing this will keep your mind active and helps your to read in a different way as you are analyzing books instead of just reading. this way you retain more information and in a few years time you don’t embarrass yourself by saying ‘yeah, that was a great book but I can’t remember what it was about.’98. Allocate Time For Worrying
If you are a recovering worrier and you need some help, allocate a certain time each day to worry about everything. Once you’ve done the time of worry, leave it until the next day.99. Stop Faffing And Just Do It
Faffing is the art of doing small things to avoid completing a bigger task. I am constantly getting on at my son and saying ‘Stop faffing!’. We spend too much time faffing instead on concentrating on the task at hand. Read this Article at Lifehack.org100. Read The Dictionary
Learning a new word every 2 -3 days will increase your vocabulary by 120 – 170 words per year.101. Always Over deliver On Your Promises
If you say your going to do something, don’t just do it and get the job complete, make sure you over deliver on everything you do.Your thoughts

john
Thanks, it was great.
I really like #98. Allocate a time for worrying. I am going to make this a new habit. This seems like a good way to reduce stress. I am an advocate of meditation which has already done wonders for stress management, but this is a great list of things and I am going to have to give them a go! Thanks for the post!
Shawn Ryan recently posted..Are binaural beats safe?
Thank you so much. It will help me forever. I will copy them, and keep them always close. THANK YOU. You helped me.
These are some great suggestions.
It seems like doing anything out of the ordinary is good for our brains and self discipline.
Thank you!
I found this blog post to be very interesting and some of the ideas were very inspiring. Number one seems that it may be the hardest one for some people to do.
Jolen Philbrook recently posted..The Power Of Your Dreams
Great ARTICLES just want to add something…
Condition yourself to talk positively about yourself. Every time your mind wanders and say you are not apt at it, pause for a minute, undo those negative vibes and say you can do it. At least you should make an attempt to accomplish that daunting task. With that, you will learn more about yourself.
Do not be afraid to push yourself beyond your physical or mental limits. Such a pressure would help you see how easily things can be achieved and thereby helps you hone skills. Step out of your comfort zone.

“If it’s a suitcase full of money, that’s obviously a different story ” enjoyed this line lol
I thought you was going to over deliver and give us 200 points. But the rest of the page are peoples comment.
This was great, I have been trying to change my mind for over a year. Going back and forth from problems to childhood. Before I looked at these points I knew it was just me used to blocking any good thoughts which would change my attitude on life. I keep thinking why is nothing happening? Because i’m not changing out I think. I have a day off tomorrow. I’m just gonna go out tomorrow and have a great day. Let’s hope it continues every day after that.

Wow,this is so wonderful. Thank you very much Steve

Perhaps one of the most empowering lessons I’ve learned. Thank you and thank you Stumbleupon

This truly is a great post. Many of the things you list here are what I dread. But I have found that doing the things I dread most (like jogging two miles to stay fit) make me feel the best at the end of the day! Thanks.
Joshua Tilghman recently posted..The Esoteric Meaning of Solomon’s Temple
Hi Steven just read your article and printed it off to read again and again. I already do many of the things on the list, the benefit of reading so many self-help books over the years. Yet, there remains a good many I will try out, not having any expectations for one, I do worry if a start a project and it fails, now I realise, that perhaps failing is no big deal, its what one learns in the process that really matters. I recently took up meditation, getting the habit of doing this regularly is my challenge as I can see the benefits of it.This is one of the best articles I have read in a long time. many thanks
William

Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is great, as well as the content!
Wonderful Article . I learned a lot in less than five minute
I’m very thankful
Thank you so much
hey steven as i read all of these iv realised that i feel real normal..thank you for posting these 100 ways..ill surely try them
An awesome list! Thanks, and well done, Steven. May I also add that reading aloud for 10 minutes daily; engaging in exercises that will make you perspire; reading about other religions, races, cultures, and traditions different from yours; learning a new language of your choice; and observing for a whole day without talking at all(or be as concise as possible if you have to) can help improve the quality of the mind, too.
It is one of the most inspiring articles I have ever read. It is really awesome. It has given me so much of mental strenght…thanks…
thanx brother……..i’ll try my best to apply these basic rules to change my thoughts especially about my confidance and daily routines….
Hi Steven, i do appreciate your effort and time you spend creating this blog, and i am really inspired by your work. By reading your post,i just can’t wait to start developing my mind and thought your 100 tips seems to be pretty simple to practice and I’ve just book mark this page.
thanks…..
This was the first time I visited your site. Just looking for something and have found this. I like the 100 ways to develop your mind. I will be visitng this daily. Great job! Thanks.
wow , it’s a great article. i loved it,easy to understand and totally practicle. thanks a lot
Absolutely loved this list. This is me doing #33
I’ve had some of the same thoughts but for whatever reason dismissed some of them as just me being “weird”. Also, it’s so easy for me to tell my kids or others to just think of things a bit differently and it will make a world of difference but, I never seem to be able to stick to that philosophy myself. My favorite part… you’re addition of #101. Selling your point through your own action. Love it!
Wow! I must confess this has been really inspiring. Thanks for such a wonderful expose’
I have heard it said that things, teachers, words, forms and energy appear exactly when and where we need them. I am so grateful that this post entered my life at the perfect moment. Thank you for sacrificing your weekend to make mine a delightfully pensive one.
Jo Anna
Wow, thanks! There is so much good information, now to put them into action!
Really a great stuff is presented by you here. Really very nice ways are described here to develop your mind. I’m very impressed through your blog and hope from you to continue it in future also.
list ur worries..its great line..
Steve, Great list. I love numbers 1 and 3. I hate it when I think I need to face my fears and we all know it is hard to be silent, but man do those two things really help. I have learned being in the now is so important and it helps me to focus. As far as doing the thing I fear the most, I have learned it isn’t as scary as I thought once I do it. What I like about your list is that I can pick one at a time and this should keep me developing and enjoying life for a long time to come. Thanks!

Thanks Steven for this post. I really benefit from it.
” 10. Strengthen Your Thoughts About Yourself ”
This is a great importance, because our minds duplicate what is sees. and if you see your self weak then thoughts will not accure to you the same as a person who is thinking of himself stronger. A weak person would look at a log an say hmmmm that looks heavy I’m not even going to attempt to lift it because I’m weak, then he would leave it alone. A strong person would look at it an say that “I can do it” and when he trys if he doesn’t succeed will trying asking for help or using another means to pick it up. so a weak person weak in mind will be weak at heart, and consequently natural thoughts will not even accure to him.
Steven, I have to say that this is one of the most interesting and motivational articles I have read in a very long time. Thank you for the inspiration to expand my mind, and in turn, push forward in life!
Awesome post
Hi Steven, I enjoyed reading your article. some of the posts have hit home more than others, and I took action straight away by thanking one of my favourite authors. Going to his website, finding a few more things about him and actually sending him a thank you note on how much he has helped me, made me feel good… about myself. well done and look forward to reading more of your posts. x
Wonderful inspiring post. Too good.
WOW here am I dreaming of becoming a personal development top blogger, then i come across a site like yours. Now i know the benchmark is high. I believe it was Anthony Robbins who said ‘You don’t have to reinvent the wheel—learn from the best’, and you are for sure high up there
Larry Lewis recently posted..The Power of Blogging! I am only rambling today!
Thanks so much for this post! I’ve recently been unhappy with various aspects of my life, and it all comes back down to my personality and self-esteem, which I have since been desperately trying to improve. I’ve saved this post in a word document and left personal remarks on each one for myself to follow, and I’m excited to start! Thanks for the advice, I’ll be on the lookout for your book now!
Thank you for the post, it often amazes me when people make great lists just like yours. Thank you for completing the list.
