50 of the best personal development blogs
50 of best personal development blogs
Personal development is my business and my life. In the 6 months that
I have been blogging I have come across some excellent blogs in all subjects
and thought it would be a good idea to share some of the top blogs in the different
areas. This month I will look at the personal development field.
You’ve probably all seen the positive blog network (PBN) logo in the
sidebar. These are some of the best personal development blogs out there
and we will be expanding. The PBN will expand over time and you will
have instant access to some great blogs.
Here are a few others that you might like to check out. They are in
no particular order.

Comment by Allen on 7 January 2007:
How To Be In Synch With Your Daily Yin and Yang Rhythms…
A fascinating new way to move into synchronicity can be found at http://www.timegnosis.com/google/google-gadget.php.
For individuals, in the aligning of oneself with their higher knowing and cyclical rhythms, there is another time-line, a soul time. For creating the magic of synchronicity in your life - this project’s free Google gadget utilizes all the computational genius of the TimeGnosis system, and reads your “field” in real time to pick, inside of that day’s number archetype, a particular phrase that is your ideal focus for that day.
Comment by Bill Caskey on 7 January 2007:
Enjoyed your list of PD blogs. Haven’t been all the way through them–but they look good. I would appreciate your consideration for ours–www.billcaskey.com and http://www.theadvancedsellingpodcast.com. They are ’sales related’ blogs/podcasts, but we try to take it further than just sales–more about achievement in business–and life.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you for linking me, Steven!
I’ll get working on that “navigation” problem… currently redesigning that site.
I don’t see this website as a traditional “blog” site, since the articles I write here tend to run quite long, and I post maybe once every few weeks.
I appreciate suggestions you - and your website visitors - may have for me on this one.

It is so amazing! I love it! Now, whenever I have a thought, or come across detecting myself of having ‘thought the wrong way’, I simply go and open the book and start reading the passages that pertain to the thought-situation!
The Secret Book has its place on our dining-room table right next to a beautiful flower basket that contains my -wedding bouquet- which I saved.

Comment by Luz Aguirrebena on 15 March 2008:
I love your tagline “Change your thoughts to change your life”. When you change your thoughts the behaviors change. Distractions start to fade away and before you know you are focused on your dream, full time. A needed conversation. A needed reminder. Thanks so much for taking the time for creating the valuable list above.
