I learn so much from my fellow bloggers and I don’t share the love enough. Here are a few of my recent favorites. Please check them out.

Check out Tim’s excellent article

“Make no mistake, these are the good old days of your future. So make the most of them the only time you can, and that’s now.”

These Are The Good Old Days

Glen nailed it with this one

“Instead, I want to end with a question that reiterates the title of this article: how much of life are you actually living?

If you’re like most people, the answer can probably be given with two words:- Not enough.”

How Much Of Life Are You Actually Living?

Take Alex’s great advice except when it comes to reading my blog

I just started reading Unleash Reality and I think it’s going to be big.

“It’s all there – everything you’re looking for – it’s within you, right now. Stop looking for peace and freedom everywhere that it isn’t.”

Sound-Bite Sized Self-Help

Sean over at Writer Dad is a very talented writer

If you aren’t reading his blog you are missing something:

“If there was an adventurer who agreed to enlist
in search of the awesomest father to ever exist,
He’d have to hunt every record throughout every land,
from the countries with mountains to those filled with sand.
When he was all finished, he’d return empty handed,
though I would not be surprised because that’s just how I planned it.
I already knew my father was the best.
I was only putting the world to the test”

My Dad – A Father’s Day Poem

Vin is on a campaign to educate people about natural food

Give his ideas a chance. As a reformed processed junk food sugaraholic I assure you he gets it right all the time. I’m not singling out any specific article because they are all so good.

Daphne summarizes personal strengths

“My own answers to those questions tended to be vague, until I came across this excellent framework for identifying personal strengths.”

Jonathan ponders the dimensions of knowledge

Jonathan creates a method for prioritizing knowledge acquisition.`

“The biggest limitation to learning does not stem from our ability to take in knowledge. It stems from having only a limited amount of time available for learning.”

Quality stuff from Jonathan.

Move Beyond the Limits that are Holding You Back

A very interesting post. You might want to see my comment because I don’t agree with a fundamental point he makes about “less wealth”. Also I think the word “less” is distorted. Less goods doesn’t really mean “less”.

A marvelous post by Jonathan Wells on Happiness.
