Best personal development resources for the week:
Senia (who has a Masters of Positive Psychology) runs a great blog, packed with witty, fun, warm and power-packed insights into personal development. Even though she’s only been writing 1 month I’ve gained from and enjoyed her writing tremendously. If you’re new, check out her first month’s summary (thanks Dave for the intro!).
Adam Khoo was one of my mentors during my stint at Akltg. He’s not only a nice guy, but a multi-millionaire to boot
He shares his story and how NLP has made a big difference in his life by asking “If I Had Gone to Raffles Institution, Would I Be a Millionaire Today?”
I love the quote by Steve Jobs that Terry found which I used in Have a Blog That Makes an Insanely Great Dent in the Universe:
We’re here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here? We’re creating a completely new consciousness, like an artist or a poet. That’s how you have to think of this. We’re rewriting the history of human thought with what we’re doing.
Steve Pavlina has a different take on setting SMART goals when he explains how to set goals you will actually achieve:
I recommend you abandon the concept of SMART goals. SMART = specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, time-bound (there are many variations on this too). This model sounds intelligent, but it’s based on an inaccurate understanding of time. Instead of thinking of your goals as time-bound projects, consider each goal in light of its effect on your present reality.
