Best personal development resources for the week:
Christine Kane reveals the 17 Things I Know for Sure About Creativity. I love number one: creativity cures.
Kathy Sierra shares 2 golden words to make you smarter, more patient and more understanding…hmm, interesting.
I absolutely love these 2 manifestos submitted to Gaping Void: The Time Management Manifesto and the Don’t Look Back Manifesto:
Horses have been training me for a long time. Directly and indirectly, my experiences with them have shaped my life. Thoughts on dwelling on the past follow.
Riding horses over jumps is life: fast, slow, up, down, control, recklessness. Thinking about jumping on horseback, I recall the words of a riding instructor about show jumping. He said, “When you hear the jump rail get clunked by your horse’s hoof, DON’T LOOK BACK! Keep both eyes forward and focus on the next jump; you can’t fix anything back there!
We all know that a balanced life can ignite the fire within you. Senia expands on those time-tested time-management principles by asking which is your seesaw balance? And an inspirational way to overcome your doubts and make the leap when 95% of your brain says yes.
Who wants the formula for a truly great life? It’s a combination of success and fulfillment, and Jim has a chart to help you get from washed out to abundance (via 37signals).
U.S.News & World Report gives you a sneak peak into America’s best leaders (via 37signals).
And Andrew over at the Steve Pavlina forums gives a personal testimonial on how he used the power of intention to transform a sure-fail subject into a high score of 92.

You’re the best, Alvin. My father told me when I was a kid that you can tell a lot about a person by asking him what he likes. It’s great to see what you like - I learn a lot about you this way. Best to you! S.
