Life Tips for a Magnetic Personality

1. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
3. Don’t overdo. Keep your limits.
4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
6. Dream more while you’re awake.
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
8. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
12. Realize that life is a school and you’re here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more.
14. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

With that in mind, let’s get straight into the picks.

Introducing the “Think – Play” Matrix – Alex Mandossian is already well known in Internet Marketing and he’s always struck me as a very balanced and organized person.  Recently, he’s shifted his focused more towards productivity and as such, I would expect to see more of his posts in my ‘Blogs of the Week’.

This particular article perfectly illustrates why I like to read Alex’s stuff.  He takes the popular cliché of “work hard, play hard” and puts a scientific framework around it so that the concepts behind it make sense.  I can’t do it justice here – go and read the article!

A Balanced Life–Part 1 – Whilst Alex Mandossian may be new to you, I’m sure that Brian Tracy isn’t!  In this first part of his series on “A Balanced Life”, Brian gives us a foundation to achieve that elusive balance in our lives.  As usual with his work, it comes across as really simple and straightforward, but the messages that he includes are invaluable.

Why Positive Thinking Doesn’t Work for You and How to Fix it – I’m more used to writing about Chris Garrett on my Internet Marketing blog, however he too seems to be sharing more insight these days into his personal development habits that have led to his success.  I’ve never been a fan of positive thinking in and of itself for the exact reasons that Chris shares in this post.  Go and have a read of it and let me know in the comments below whether you agree or disagree with his views.

5 Ways of Using Limits to Get More Enjoyment Out of Your Life Today -This is a blog that I’ve only recently started to follow (thanks to a tip from Chris Garrett!) and I can tell you that quality of the content is fantastic!  This post is a perfect example.  It illustrates how a simple idea (setting limits) can have a major impact on your life.  I would encourage you to read this and to subscribe to Henrik’s great blog.

I’d love to get your feedback on the ideas shared in these posts as well as any tips for any personal development bogs that I’m not writing about.  Please use the comments section to get in touch – I read and reply to every post personally.  Also, please use the links below to share this post and give YOUR followers the benefit of these insights.

How to Make Unstupid Goals – On Monday, I wrote a post about New Years Resolutions and why I felt that they were often unproductive.  This post from IttyBiz makes the same message but from a different angle.  Well worth a read.

How to Make that Change Stick: The 11 Point Checklist for 2010 – I’m a big (and relatively new) fan of the Positivity Blog and I’m guessing that you’ll see regular entries in my “Blogs of the Week” posts from them.  This is a great post for anyone looking to create lasting change this year, and I particularly like it because it goes to 11…!   (please excuse the obscure Spinal Tap reference!)

CAT Scan – Zig Ziglar is someone who I really admire and draw huge inspiration from.  I know that his health has finally forced him to slow down a little, but it’s great to keep up with him via his son Tom’s blog.  This week, we learn about a health scare which had Zig making an unexpected trip to the hospital, and what really inspired me was how he handled it.  If you’ve ever heard Zig speak, you’ll know what a great sense of humor he has and this is evident from Tom’s writing.

“The Checklist Manifesto” – Whilst my Christian background makes me wary of much of the “Law of Attraction” teachings (more on this in the future) I do have a lot of respect for Dr Joe Vitale.  Apart from anything else, he’s a great copywriter and any of us who write for a living can learn massively from him.  In this post, he talks about how we can use checklists in our business.  As is typical of his style, he puts the message across in an incredibly gentle and simple manner which I would encourage you to read for yourself.  Once you’ve read it, take some time to reflect on it and you’ll find great power in his words.

The Power of Beginning: Three Thoughts from the Last 2400 Years – I told you I was a fan of the Positivity Blog – here’s another great post from them!  There are times in our lives when we profoundly experience the “A-ha Effect“.  As I’ve been focusing on my personal development over the past few years there have been 3 significant moments like this for me.  If only this post had been available a few years ago…!

That’s it for this week.  I’d love to hear from you regarding any posts that spoke to you this week.  Please drop me a note in the comments to share your finds.

Best wishes,
