Monotone – Recasting Vision for Your Life
Who do you think of when you picture someone talking in monotone? I personally think of Ben Stein who did the Clear Eyes commercials a few years back. His voice remained at the same tone throughout the commercial. He did not show any excitement whatsoever in the product he was selling. He was just straightforward, [...]

Once in a while, I get snarky comments on Life Coaches Blog. Now, criticism can be a good thing when they help me clarify my thoughts and see things from a different perspective. But I’m talking about comments that do nothing but attack what you write without offering anything of value. To these people I say; [...]

27. July 2008
Thinking about thewhitespace’s comment on my last post about black and white thinking, I’ve realized that there’s a fine distinction between simplicity and making things way too simple. The simplicity I’m aiming for isn’t the black and white simplicity before thought, i.e. ignorance, but the simplicity that comes after the far side of complexity, i.e. clarity [...]

“We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light.” Delenn, Babylon 5 We like to make meaning out of things – in fact, we can’t avoid doing it. When we write, we write facts, bullet points, objective statements. But when we remember our past and imagine our future, we don’t think in bullet points. We remember [...]
Continue reading...All Ads are Off
21. July 2008
As of today, you’ll notice that there are zero ads on Life Coaches Blog; making it now a zero revenue site. It’s a decision I’ve made because of some terms in my new contract at work, but outside of an even cleaner look, it won’t affect the content any.

“This one is hard for me. I love participating. I love being part of things. But I have found that I have to say no to things a lot more often, so that I don’t accidentally set myself up to let others down.” Chris Brogan talks about scaling himself as he tackles the challenge of [...]

11. July 2008
Nothing personal development-related here, but I wanted to give a shout-out to the brilliant design team behind the new Life Coaches Blog. Premium News was the original site where I bought my present theme, and it’s now evolved into the newly minted WooThemes. I love their designs and they have a good after-service help forum for [...]

10. July 2008
Steve Pavlina has a new book due out in October aptly named after his blog; Personal Development for Smart People: The Conscious Pursuit of Personal Growth. He says about the book that: Personal Development for Smart People definitely isn’t a rehashing of previous blog posts or articles. The ideas in the book are new and original. Only [...]

9. July 2008
Be honest with yourself, what do you do when friends, co-workers, or relatives tell you what you should or should not do about your life, health, career, relationships, etc? Do you immediately move to action to change what others say you should change? How does what others think about you affect your life? What happens [...]

7. July 2008
I’ve discovered another lifehack; when I leave my computer turned off, I’m more apt to do the simple things like read, exercise, sleep early, clean my room and talk to my family, compared to surfing endlessly (and sometimes mindlessly). One book I’ve just finished reading is the philosophical fiction book If Minds Had Toes, where long-dead [...]
