Every Friday I get to share with you just some of the most thought-provoking and interesting personal development articles that I have read during the week. Here’s this week’s offerings:
Steven wrote a very personal and powerful post about The Night I Gave Up On Life at his site Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life. “A few nights later I decided that the jacket of life no longer fitted me and I was taking the jacket off for good” Wow. Go and read this post and tell me that it doesn’t touch you. Sometimes we don’t appreciate how lucky we really are. All of us have choices.
I just discovered Ashley and her site The Middle Finger Project. The first article I read from her site Live Alive, Not Just A Life: Guidelines for Rebelling Against Reality was a great first impression and is spot on. Check her out and let me know if you think she rocks as much as I think she does.
Hulbert at his site From Bottom Up wrote an interesting piece about Tony Robbins and Why. I learned something new about Tony Robbins’ background and I think you will, too. I wonder if the world would have the current Tony Robbins if he didn’t have such a rough childhood.
I enjoyed reading Mick’s story about How to Help Yourself at his site The Mick Morris Musing and I think you will, too. Check it out and let me know if you want to be a Servant Leader.
Jonathan asks us Would You Fall Asleep Reading Your Life’s Story? at his site site Awake At The Wheel. This was a great thought-provoking article. I would hope that I wouldn’t fall asleep (well, not during certain parts at least). Would you?
I usually share 5 articles with you, but this week I have a bonus since I just had to include Walter from Lion Slinger and his article A Lesson About Time. Walter is always thought-provoking and he doesn’t disappoint this time. Check out his article and let me know what you think.
It’s really tough choosing what to share with you as there are so many great sites to check out and great articles to read. I hope you like this week’s offerings.
What have you read this week that made you stop and think? Let us know by leaving a comment below. Thanks!
As always, have a great weekend!

Karen,
Thanks for sharing your weekly list of blogs; I’ve only read two of them so it looks like I’ve got some reading to catch up on.

Paul´s last blog ..When the time is right!
Hi Paul,
You mean you have read two of them before coming here or you’ve read two since I wrote about them? Either way, I’m glad that I’ve been able to provide you with some quality reading material
Thanks,
Karen
Karen,
I think I need to slow down a little when I’m commenting. I meant I’ve only got two of them in my reader; So I’ve only read those two. I could do to visit the others and take a look at them.
Regards
Paul

Hey Karen,
Thanks for taking the time to compile such a valuable list of high value reading material. There is some very interesting stuff here… especially the Tony Robbin’s piece.
I just sent your Friday’s links to my twitter followers too as I’m sure they would appreciate it!
Justin Popovic´s last blog ..Charge What You are Worth
Hey Justin,
Thank you so much! I hope your Twitter followers like the articles that I picked this week.
Yes, Hulbert’s article on Tony Robbins was very interesting. Glad that you liked it.
Karen
Hi Karen, thanks for the link out to my blog i really appreciate it and thank you for leaving a comment.
Steven Aitchison´s last blog ..The Night I Gave Up On Life
Hi Steven,
I had to include such a powerful post as yours this week. As I wrote on your blog, it takes a lot of courage to write what you did and if it helps just one person realize that that they have choices and do not have to take that final choice, then it’s well worth spreading.
Thank you for writing the article and have the guts to hit the publish button.
Karen
Fantastic links here Karen, I like these posts because you always find sites that are little gems, saves us shifting through the dross
TheInfoPreneur´s last blog ..Interview With Maren Kate EspacingThe9to5.com
Hi James,
That’s the idea – I do the work, so that you don’t have to
Glad that you like the articles for this week.
Thanks for stopping by,
Karen
I love how you do this Karen. It really tops off my week and I usually learn about a new blog. Your recommendations never fail my liking either! Thanks!
Alex´s last blog ..Shane DeRolf Interview, Exhilaration & Guidance At Its Finest
Hey Alex, thanks so much for the kind words and I’m happy to hear that you enjoy the articles that I pick out each week.
Hey Karen, I was studying for an exam for teachers on English and I realized that I went to my site, seeing that you had linked to it, but I didn’t thank you, so thank you! I’m glad that piece was an interesting read for some people and after I take the exam tomorrow, I’ll be able to write about another person and post it up on Monday. So again, thanks, and I’ll be looking forward to read your future articles!
Hulbert´s last blog ..Tony Robbins and Why
Hi Hulbert,
Good luck on your exam and you’re welcome
I’m sure that you’ll be back on a future Friday’s Links post soon.
Thanks for stopping by,
Karen
I always enjoy reading the links you provide during Fridays. I’ll read these posts particularly the one entitled “The Night I Gave Up On Life”
Julius´s last blog ..A Day of A Deaf Person
Hi Julius,
Yes, Steven’s post is a very powerful reminder that we should not give up, no matter what. I hope you enjoy reading it and can learn something from it. I know I did.
Thanks,
Karen
Karen,
I truly enjoyed Steven’s post. I particularly like what he said about altering the jacket of life to make it fit us, instead of trying to fit it. Very inspiring. I’ll add his blog to the list of blogs I would frequently visit. Thanks!
Julius´s last blog ..>When Sound is not an Option: A review of Vibrating Devices for Deaf People
Hi Karen, thanks for the mention in your links, I really appreciate it. I love these posts too as they do point out good quality additional places to read.
Mick Morris´s last blog ..What do you see, believe and do?
Hi Mick,
You wrote a great article and I was glad to share it here with my readers. It really made me think.
Glad that you are liking the other articles, too.
Karen
Thanks Karen for sharing some great stories (and ideas) I’ve followed Ash @TMF project for a little while now, she’s got some great articles on there.
I’ve not read any of the Tony Robins stuff (other than 50% of Awaken the Giant Within).
Matthew Needham´s last blog ..Where are we now?
Thanks, Matt!!!!!!!!
Ash´s last blog ..Live Alive, Not Just a Life: Guidelines for Rebelling Against “Reality”
Hi Matthew,
