Welcome to the latest edition of the Living by Design personal development blog carnival - it's a bit late because I've been busy working on other projects - but better late than never. Thanks to everyone who contributed and happy reading.
Living by Design Blog Carnival No.25
May 25, 2008 Welcome to the latest edition of the Living by Design personal development blog carnival. Here's my selection for this edition - these are the 10 articles I enjoyed reading the most out of 92 that were sumitted - thank you to everyone who contributed.
Arin Vahanian presents How to Get Rid of Excuses NOW and Start Living the Kind of Life You’ve Always Wanted posted at Super State. Preview: "Every human, since the beginning of time, has made excuses, and everyone will keep making excuses – the aim here is not to eliminate every single excuse uttered by every single person on Earth. Rather, it is to help people eliminate the unnecessary excuses they make which prevent them from succeeding in their relationships, in business, and in nearly every other aspect of their lives."
Sean Reynolds presents Creativity » Mind posted at Creativity, saying, "Do we own our own minds? How much of our thinking is created for us? In George Orwell’s famous novel 1984 the thought police patrolled and reprogrammed anyone whose thoughts were not in line with Big Brothers, the unseen leader. History is written by the victors. Being victorious makes it right. Maybe there is an unseen justice in this and maybe not. A more accurate view of history is that which is experienced by ordinary people assuming that their thoughts are their own."
