Hi Steven, very nice website and I wanted to contribute an article about personal development. However, when I was trying to send the article, my email says that “stevenaitchison dot co dot uk” is not a valid email format.
Hi Jenny, I just noticed your comment and thought I’d resolve it…(I’m not part of this blog, but wanted to help!). Where it says ‘dot’, you need to put a . And no space between each word either. It’s just a format commonly used so people don’t send a ton of spam.
Hi, I’m familiar with needing to write out emails like that to avoid spam, but my email programs (iCloud and Outlook) both rejected the written out email as an invalid format. . . is there something else I can do to get it to go through? Thx!

Hello I was looking for all the websites and blogs in the personal development niche and came across your site and found it to be quite impressive. I have also recently started blog in the self development niche and would like to contribute at your blog as a guest blogger.

I set a time limit of 20 minutes to write what I feel. I feel stuck. I don´t know what to do. I HATE my job and what I have done with my life so far. I have a lovely family – a loving husband and two kids. You may say I have everything and maybe I would agree. But I want more. But not too much. I would love to have a job which I would love but I have no chance to get it. Going daily to work which I hate is depressing. I am depressed, loosing the meaning of my life. You know, I spend eight hours per day in a building which I hate and with people I do not wish to see. But I have to. Only few of them are real friends. Try to guess what my job is – I am a teacher. I became one „by mistake“ – I was not accepted to school where I wanted to be, so I went to some other school. I did not care and, in fact, did not realize where I was going. I got it just when I had to go to primary school to practise what I had learned at university with pupils in real ife. I did not mind. I have always thought I will do something else. But I did not succeed. And this has not changed. I spend my life dreaming about better life, better work or better place for life. I would love to have a small family hotel with pleasant atmosphere to offer to my guests. But this is a dream which cannot come true. Each time I present any dream to my family, everybody starts to laugh and they ask me to be down-to-earth and be more realistic. Work in massmedia , for example, be also nice – I can imagine myself preparing newspaper or TV trivia quizzes. Based on my family´s reactions I feel like an immature dreaming child with stupid dreams. I have no money to make my dream come true and the times we are living do not allow people to travel much. So, maybe my family are right. I wanted to find another job, but without success – I have sent so many CVs and cover letters to different companies but I did not get any response. You need some good acquaintances to get further – at least to be invited for an interview. I have never been to any, so I slowly stop believeing in myself. I have no idea what I am good at or what I should do. I am 33 and I have read countless number of books on self-improvement of any kind (Kiyosaki´s books, Sharma´s Monk and many others) but without any help.
My time´s up. That´s all and thank you for reading these energy and time consuming words.
Hi Steven,
I have an idea for a Guest Post on New Year Resolutions.
New Year Resolution Stress Test
Millions of us make New Year Resolutions. Yet one in three of us don’t make it to the end of January. Sadly that’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as the failure rate goes.
This stress test will assess how robust your New Year Resolution is. And it will pinpoint what you need to do get it in shape. And improve your chances of success.
Please let me know what you think.
regards,
Michael
I am so happy I found this post! I would love to contribute to your blog! I have found this site to be such a valuable resource and source of inspiration for me. I would love to be a part of this. I will send you my ideas soon! Thank you!
Hi Steven,
Having lived in London for 30 years, I followed my heart and re-located to Malaysia (my home) 14 years ago. I now work as a ICF trained Certified Professional Coach in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and coaching is very new in SE Asia and Malaysia but a much needed industry. I have just started exploring the idea of writing blogs on personal development. The universe must have been listening!!! Because today, I came across your invitation to contribute on personal development. I am really excited about getting some exposure via your site. Thank you for your generosity.

My son was coming over to help me: “I will be by later.” He didn’t say what time So I jumped into the shower. I checked my phone after the shower and he left me a message saying He had come by. So I sent him a message asking “does that mean you are not coming now?” and his reply was “I said” I would be by later”. The fact the he always seems to say “I said” really annoys me because I feel disrespected and that he comes across as being superior to me. Am I wrong? Thanks!!
I love your blog. It’s very informative and inspirational. This is my first time here, but I have bookmarked it and I will defiantly be back.

Hi, just bumped into you today as I was looking for personal development blogs in Africa and I am thoroughly impressed and I thank you for the opportunity to publish articles for your blog. I will try to do that as I desire to be associated with your site and our vision seems to be the same – encouraging change of thought in Africa.

Hi, i am currently attending councelling for my lack of self worth. I think the points you have raised are very helpful, and it is the pushing yourself that gives results. The idea of not ‘dealing with it’ but coping with it is a powerful change in my mind set. For me, improving self worth is a really hard thing to do, i have been given homework to do five things for myself this week, it seems silly, but is actually very daunting!! Wish me luck!!
Hello,
I would love to write a guest post for your blog, but I couldn’t find your email adress.

Hi, I just wanted to check what you mean by published on any other site? I have several posts from my own blog that I would love to publish here, but is that a breach of your terms? I also have an article that I have written to be published in a magazine, but not online – would that be acceptable?
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity
Hi Cara, The article would have to be unique to CYT meaning it cannot be published elsewhere. However you still keep all rights to that article.
Hi Steven
Nice blog you have here. I note your post on Guest Blogging says you were accepting posts while you were building readership. If you are still on the lookout for guest posts, please drop me a line. I’d be happy to write you a unique article on a topic of your choosing.
Keep up the good work.

I dont know if im in the right place but hear it goes.
Im a south african. and it was my birthday today and i hate this day with so much passion that i could curl up and die. this is the first time in 7 years since me and my ex broke up and it feel like i have this emptieness inside. it was mostly my fualt that we broke up i stop listining, i only cared about what i wanted and not what we wanted. im so afraid of turning out like my folks that it scares me, they not bad people dont get me wrong just the fighting and days where as a family we should shear like my birthday and Christmas you have to split your self’s cause they cant stand each-other. i can put blame on anyone but myself, God i miss my ex we didn’t even have to talk to understand each other and we fought alot but healthy fights like what you don’t like and what i like. you know what i mean all you woman will know what i mean.
Some times i wish i could change things in a way that i could have a break. but if you find this interesting i then you must read my life stories. but for now i just wanna speak my mind and get this anger and emptiness away or at least try by just writing down my thoughts.
I want out get away from every one and start new. i work work work that all i do and not nearly enough for a woman to except me. it seems like every time i get close to the opposite sex its just falls apart every time i care and im the one left behind. sorry guys that you have to read this..
Some posts are winging their way to you in the very near future
What a fantastic resource you’ve created, congratulations!
i would love to contribute in the near future… so do i change my avatar for the comments?
thank you for this blog steven
Keep it up
Steven, I think you are doing a great service to mankind. You do not really find many people willing to just share motivational thoughts worldwide without any personal gain. Great Job, keep it up!!!
Hey there,

You may be interested in featuring a selection of the designs which are aimed at enhancing your beliefs by wearing them!

Hi Steven
Love your site! It has been a pleasure to visit and read from yourself and various guest authors and I would love to contribute my passions and work here as well.
Thanks, Steven – “change your thoughts, change your life” sums up my philosophy quite neatly, so I would be happy to write for you. I’ll drop you an email to discuss further.
Steven, thank you for your clear guidelines and your request for contributors. I look forward to posting an article at your insightful CYT one of these days – and not too far away, I hope. Congratulations on the number of your subscribers! Warm wishes from Japan – Catrien Ross.
So very, very excited that I may get to do a guest post for the fabulous blog you have here, and thank you for the excellent guidelines! I particularly like the Gravatar rule so we can see some faces!
Well, this needs updating, just look how your subscribers have grown. Congratulations. I’d be honored to have a guest post here. I’ll email you soon with the info you ask for.
Keep up the great writing:)
This sounds so cool. I am going to ponder what might be a good article for your site…something original that you might consider worthy. My Google page rank just jumped from a 2 to a 4 in the last couple of months. Not that it means much but its a start. Trying to learn as much as I can from you. You are SUCH an inspiration. So proud of you. I bet your family is as well. Hugs, Robin.
You have a very versatile site here and lots of very good information. I invite you to use any of my posts, as I see they gel well with your purpose here. Best wishes to you.
Thank you for your website. It is very uplifting
