Creating a Better Life

Welcome to the latest edition of the Personal Development Carnival!

There are a lot of great articles in this edition… so let’s get right to them!

David Maister reminds us that, unfortunate as it may be, our blunders are often remembered more than our successes. Read more about it in The Disproportionality Principle, posted at David Maister’s Passion, People and Principles.

Of course, one of the ways to avoid (or minimize) future problems is through proper planning. In The First Day of the Rest of Your Life, David Lorenzo gives us practical tips on preparing for the upcoming events of your life, posted in his Career Intensity Blog.

Over in Personal Development from Rags to Riches, Milo Riano talks about the importance of looking at our weaknesses and being willing to correct them, in his Negative Performance Feedback article.

If one of those weaknesses is fear, then you’ll want to read How to Crush Fear Forever, written by Brian Carson of Successful Living.

How much do you expect to get out of your personal development study? According to Steve Moore of the Personal Development Blog, as long as he gets One Great Idea out of the material that he reads, he’s satisfied… and he explains why it isn’t always the case.

Are you one of those who “treat life like some kind of living hell?” Then you’ll want to read this article by Peter Kua, of RadicalHop.com: The Five Harmonies of Happiness, Success and Wealth.

Procrastination… awww, I’ll take care of that later… If that sounds like you, check out Matt Inglot’s Overcoming Procrastination The Easy Way, on Matt Inglot - Thoughts on Entrepreneurship, Business, and Success.

And if you need a real eye opener on just what that procrastination and time wasting is costing you, your next stop should be Emmanuel Oluwatosin’s Your Time is Your Money!, posted at Emmanuel Oluwatosin: Inspiring Excellence, Realising Ambition.

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a funk? I know I have, and Bill White has some excellent tips for us on getting out of one and getting on with our lives. Read Success: How To Get Out Of A Funk posted at In Good Hands - Personal Thoughts on the Road to Success.

Relationships, whether they be personal or professional, are fundamental to our success and happiness. In "Take This Job and Shove It" is a Country Song NOT a Best Practice, Bill Tyler of My Bubble Life reminds us that how we end our professional relationships are just as important, if not more important, than how we’ve behaved throughout them.

"Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something." That quote from Frederick Smith is how Your Online Personal Success Coach starts off his article titled Using Risk to Your Advantage. Be sure to read it if you have trouble taking those steps that might be a little risky!

And to wrap up this edition, we have something that is so basic that many of us never pay attention to it, and yet so essential that we couldn’t live more than a few minutes without doing it. Alex Scheel Meyer presents Learning To Breathe, posted at Personal Development Blog by Alex Scheel Meyer.

Wow… so much great information. If you take and apply any one of the ideas presented in this weeks carnival, your life will get better. And the more you apply (NOT just read about), the better your life will get. But if you just read, and take no action… well, don’t expect any results.

Thank you for joining us!
