As my blog is just in its infancy and I try to gather up different ideas to blog about that interest me it would be difficult not to mention bloggers that I have found to be helpful in the past in the area I am interested in. Steve Pavlina is a relatively popular and prolific blogger who has virtually started his blog up writing about specific areas on the topic of personal development and now makes over six figures a year writing a couple blog entries a week. His story is extremely interesting and inspirational. Steve graduated Cal State University, Northridge in a short three semesters of college (without summer school!) coming out with two degrees, one in computer science and another in mathematics. He attributes most of his collegiate success to simple time management and planning. His blog, stevepavlina.com, has numerous topics that are covered in detail and really aims to help the ordinary person fine tune his or her life. It would be a bit difficult to truly epitomize his entire blog with a singular topic, but a major common theme I continue to see pertains to self-improvement on various levels.
There are a couple blog entries that I want to mention because I found them to be exceptionally helpful and interesting. One of his entries speaks in detail about the law of attraction and how it specifically can take hold of us and attract into our lives whatever we constantly manifest our thoughts over. This is something that I really found interesting because isn’t that usually the case with most things? You continue to think about a particular idea or goal that you have and it somehow or someway will find its way into your life and end up a reality. This train of thought really embodies the idea of a work-hard attitude. Another entry I found particularly interesting was a topic about self-discipline which related specifically to persistence and working past the many bumps in the road that are bound to occur within our lives. He talks about the importance staying motivated so that you continue to take action toward your goal regardless of your emotional state of mind. I always seem to have trouble with this area to be honest. I will find that I don’t feel like doing something and will simply put it off because “I’m not in the mood”. It’s probably something everyone can relate to. I really feel like these two entries really only scratch the surface of what his entire blog has to offer, but they are good places to start for a person who is just beginning to read through it.
Another interesting thing that I discovered about Steve’s blog is that he just recently, in the past year, added many different new tools for those interested in becoming more interactive. There is a forum that you are can utilize if you choose, an RSS feed, and some really interesting podcasts if you are not in a reading mood. It’s clear that many of these different media tools that make up his website (RSS feed, podcast, and forum) are there to build high traffic, but I believe that he really puts some interesting content up. In relation to my own blog, I really think Steve’s blog helps analyze the many different life situations and will most definitely give me a variety of topics to comment on in my blog in the future. Hopefully everyone else will find it just as fascinating and helpful as I have. Here are a few links below to the entries that I found to be interesting. Enjoy!
