personal growth resourcesWelcome to another installment of the Personal Growth Resource Roundup. As you may already know, in these roundups I bring you personal growth resources from unexpected and sometimes surprising sources. I believe that there are life lessons everywhere. So, while I do include great resources from more “traditional” personal growth sources, the focus is on getting us outside of that box. Here are this week’s resources!

Let’s begin with one last reminder about Earth Hour. It’s tonight! The movement has definitely picked up some steam since the first time I wrote about it and even since last week’s personal growth resource roundup. Apparently it’s grown so much that their site is being very slow! If you haven’t watched the video yet, and their site is slow or not responding, you can watch the Earth Hour Video here. And then tonight, in just over 12 hours, at 8:00pm, turn off your lights for 1-hour, Earth Hour! Let’s see the difference we can make when we all turn our lights off!

What will you do during that hour without lights? I’ll be putting Ella to bed. And once she’s asleep I’ll probably play the piano softly by candlelight. Hmm. Sounds like something I might start doing more often!

Leave a comment and let me know what you’re going to do.

Next up is a reminder that Part 1 of my free report - The Energetics of Attraction: Understanding and Applying the Harmonics of Human Awareness is available.

Part One, which is available now, begins with an exploration of why the Law of Attraction may not be “working” and then moves into the five levels of human perception, awareness and response.

Part Two, which will be available soon, will cover the following topics:

* Recognizing your primary perceptual level.
* The role of the subconscious in the Law of Attraction.
* Understanding the Harmonics of Human Awareness.
* Using the Harmonics of Human Awareness to empower your work with the Law of Attraction.

Just fill in your name and email below and you can download the free report now!

Now let’s move on to Problogger! And just what, you might say, does Darren Rowse and Problogger have to do with personal growth? Well, even as far back as February of 2007 I was wondering if Darren was going Personal Developmenty on us!

Personally, I think that one of the reasons why Problogger is so successful is because Darren has infused it with a positive energy that encompasses much more than blogging. And while he probably would not say this, I feel that the underlying message of Problogger is that if you want to be a better blogger, become a better person. Now, maybe I’m reading too much into what’s happening between the lines… or maybe not.

But either way, this guest post, by Easton Ellsworth, on The Greatest Blogging Skill, most certainly qualifies as a personal growth post, even though it uses blogging as a vehicle to express it.

And while we’re on the subject of blogging, let’s talk about SOBCon-08! Oh how I would love to be there! You can just tell, from the buzz, from the energy, and from the amazing people who go to SOBCon that it’s one of those business events that will inspire you to become a better blogger by becoming a better person. It’s not looking like I’m going to get there this year. But if you have that weekend open, and want to get some great information and connect with some amazing people, I definitely recommend it!

And speaking of the amazing people you’ll get to meet at SOBCon, Wendy Piersall is one of them. Currently, Wendy is moving through quite a process over at Emomsathome. She is rebranding her blog network. And having been privileged to be part of the process, I can assure you there is a LOT of personal growth happening over there. Don’t believe me? Check out this post on the Empty Blog Nest.

Let’s get at least one resource in the mix from a more personal developmenty blog! You think money can’t buy happiness? Check out this post from Rick Cockrum at Shards of Consciousness, How Money Can Buy You Happiness. You might be surprised.

And finally, don’t forget that Oprah and Eckhart Tolle’s Worldwide world-changing Webinar moves into week 5 on Monday evening. This week will focuon on Chapter 5 of Eckhart’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.

If you haven’t watched last week’s class, you can access the On Demand version Oprah’s New Earth Web Event here and download a video, MP3, watch a streaming version or grab a transcript of the show.

A New Earth

If you haven’t already registered, head over to Oprah’s site now to sign up. It’s free and most definitely personal developmenty!

That’s it for this week’s personal growth resource roundup.

See you next time.

Personal Growth Resource Roundup #13

March 8th, 2008 Edward Mills Posted in Law of Attraction, Link Love, Personal Growth, a new earth, eckhart tolle, leading edge, life hacks, oprah, vision No Comments »

personal growth resourcesWell this lucky 13 edition of the Personal Growth Resource Roundup is chock full of goodness! Seems to me that the quality of personal growth related content on the web just keeps getting better and better. And to that I say, “Rock On!”

First up is the Law of Attraction carnival. If you haven’t heard, Dean Lacono of Law of Attraction for Beginners, and Ellie Walsh of Living the Law of Attraction have taken over the longest running Law of Attraction blog carnival. And so far, they’re doing a great job! The theme of this edition, number 29, is Relationships - How to use the Law of Attraction to create, maintain, improve relationships.

Then there’s Jonathan Field’s post Is Visionary Just Another Word for Masochistic? I don’t know about you, but sometimes being out here on the Leading Edge of Thought feels pretty crappy! But I wouldn’t give up my spot on the Leading Edge for anything. Does that make me a masochist? Maybe. Jonathan starts with this quote from this Seth Godin post, “Remarkable visions and genuine insight are always met with resistance.” If you feel that your Visions are being met with resistance, go check out this article.

Next up, Dawud Miracle takes an inspiring look at what we can learn from how Ben Franklin ran his businesses. There are number of excellent lessons to be learned from Ben, but I think this is my favorite: “Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.”

Alex Shalman must have taken a look in my car when he wrote this extremely helpful post on How to Declutter Your Car! If your car looks like mine, go check it out.

And finally, don’t forget that Oprah and Eckhart Tolle’s Worldwide world-changing Webinar continues Monday evening. This week will focuon on Chapter 2 of Eckhart’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.

They promise to have the technical issues worked out. So if you had problems watching last week’s webcast, hopefully this one will be better.

If you haven’t watched last week’s class, you can access the On Demand version Oprah’s New Earth Web Event here and download a video, MP3, watch a streaming version or grab a transcript of the show.

A New Earth

And after watching it, be sure to leave your comments and questions here.

That’s it for this week’s Personal Growth Resource Roundup.
