Ever since this blog revealed itself to me (cos that's what happened I didn't look for it) I've been reading everything on personal development, because of my strong wish to make a clear and specific strategic planner for 2011.And I've been struggling with the delivery ever since I had the idea. What a lesson!Yesterday,I was reading Chris's post on how to conduct your own annual review and it hit me. Everything is a process.And it's all about the discipline to really implement all the small things that we discover about ourselves and the world in everything we do, however small.We cannot jump the natural stages..sometimes we can but it has to come naturally.As Chris says it is not easy to be true to yourself but once we've discovered the possibility and the difference we have a choice to act from that space or not.

And long as you promised! If you 'wish' you could do something different then you have to take steps to actually accomplish it. It ain't like magic raining down upon you. The universe conspires to help, but you must do something to let that help in. Really excellent post. And long as you promised!

If you offer to give them what they "wish" they will decline. What you spend your time, money and efforts on IS your life; it IS your priorities. If you don't make what you claim is most important the highest priority in your life, you aren't being true to yourself. Many people say “I wish I could” this or that but they don’t really mean it.

I know you're planning a redesign for your site, but I really like the current design. Did you put it together yourself, or do you hire a web designer? P.S.

It really helped me to realised that it's okay to improvise and have fun - I often forget, even though I write a blog on being playful.

I came across your site while i was searching for Travel Blogs on google. I am so glad I stumbled across this page because the whole idea of non-conformity out forth in this blog appeals to me and is what I've believed in. I am happy to know that there are people out there who are actively trying to spread this as a philosophy. Anyways, its my dream to go backpacking across countries and meet new people, experience different cultures. What SCARES me the most, is the money generation aspect - I dread doing a job i hate just to earn money to travel. Looking for exploring your blog further. Have fun! Chris,

Gaelen at Mindjet just turned me on to your blog. I look forward to more posts. I added a nice map on the bottom of the following page to help people capture and prioritize their life goals, 3-5 year goals, etc...It was inspired by David Allen's Horizons of Focus. You can can <a href="http://www.mindjet.com/products/uses/tasks/todolists.aspx" rel="nofollow">find it here</a>. Great post Chris. Gaelen at Mindjet just turned me on to your blog.
